Merle, 109, of Bible Hill, passed away peacefully Saturday, January 6, 2018 at Elk Court, Brookfield.

In 1930 she graduated from New Waterford General Hospital as a Registered Nurse. Most of her nursing career was spent doing private nursing in the Stewiacke and Truro areas. She met and married Frank in 1934 and lived in the Nelson farm on the hill in Pleasant Valley for 8 years. They moved to Bible Hill in 1942 and raised their family of seven. Many times she was called upon to nurse relatives and neighbours on the street. She helped relatives deliver babies and saved the lives of many. Her door was always open and many good meals and snacks were enjoyed, especially her donuts. The best cook in the country grew her own garden, canned, pickled, and preserved everything she could get her hands on. She was loved and will be missed by all who knew her, and will be remembered fondly. Merle participated in a study from Boston University Medical Centre on Centenarians.
