All our love and prayers are with your family. We loved Aunt Merle and will miss her very much. Please know that you are in our hearts.

Gary, Deb & family: When the Lord calls our loved ones home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange. I have one of those precious memories as I recall my last pot luck at church in Grand Valley and to remember the person I chose to sit beside that day. Yes, Merle & I did have a little way of chatting about whatever and always enjoyed her look on life.
When your heart is empty, filling it with happy memories can help you through many many dark hours.
My love and prayers are with Merle’s family and send blessings your way to keep you strong.
Lovingly…….Phylis

Aunt Merle had an impact on who I am today. Right from birth – until as of today. For that I am very grateful. I will always remember those special Christmas family gatherings at her home and our time together at the Monetville Reunions. I love you and I will miss you.

To the Whitworth family – our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love Scotty, Sharon and Candace

We are so grateful that Claire got to meet you and spend time with you great grandma Whitworth. We know how much you loved her. We will continue to tell her about the kind and wonderful person that you were and remember you through stories and photographs. We love you and will miss you

We have so many wonderful memories of Uncle Ben and Aunt Merle – one that still brings a smile to my face is the story of them having a barbeque seating themselves on the same side of the picnic table, – it turning over sending them both into the rose bush – Uncle Ben could tell that story with great gusto and both Hether and myself had a great laugh.

Their lives were invested in the family to such an extent all who were a part have so much to be grateful for.

When someone you love becomes a memory.
The memory becomes a treasure.

Ted and Gary – you were so fortunate to have Aunt Merle as your mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Cousin Alice

Merle was a wonderful person. We remember her as being of a sweet disposition, with a ready smile. She brought joy to all around her. May she rest in peace.

To the Whitworth Family
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. We have lots of great memories of Ben and Merle and snowmobiling together on the farm; food and fellowship in the basement of your home. Thinking of all of you.

A better Grandma we could not ask for. You were so much more than any of us deserved. Thank you for everything… You and Grandpa are so much a part of the person that I am today. Saying thank you is not enough and yet I can not find any other words. I cherish each and every memory of you and Grandpa. My heart sings knowing that the two of you are together again. I’m sure Grandpa met you with open arms and a big “sloppy kiss.” I look forward to the day we are all together again, and what a joy it will be. Thank you for everything… You will never truly know how much you meant to me.
Loving you, today, tomorrow and always… Oxox .

So many memories… Aunt Merle always had that relieved smile whenever Ted, Gary and I made it back alive from our ‘adventures’…. The enormous piles of good food she brought up to the cottage, always saying it was nothing….How bright and welcoming her little house was at Christmas time, reflecting her own warm welcoming nature…the laughing eyes that greeted us most New Year’s when we got stuck in the driveway in mud or snow on the way home “Oh, just sit down. Ben will get the tractor”.

She was a wonderful person, a caring Mother for Ted and Gary and I was privileged to share her with you, as my Aunt Merle.

Please accept our sympathies.

Terry and Viv

Eunice and Family

To Ted, Gary and all their families,

Our sincere condolences, but a wonderful life to celebrate !

Sincerely

Ted, Cheryl & family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss. May the fond memories you have of your mother, mother in law and grandmother give you peace during this time and that the celebration of her life be her tribute and support to you in the days forward.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Lots of love, hugs and blessings are being sent your way.

Aunt Merle was precious, kind, funny, honest, loving, hardworking and faithful. She has been one of the most solid and true people I have ever known. I am so grateful for all the love she gave to me and to my family. I loved Aunt Merle so much and I will hold her close in my heart right beside Uncle Ben, forever. Love and support to all the family.

Sorry to hear of your loss. My thought go out to the family. I do remember the old neighbourhood on (Elder Mills Rd) now Rutherford, living across from the Price family. Many memories of the Whitworth’s in the fields pulling the vegitables.

Good memories and good health to everyone.
