Marie Merrill entered the gates of glory on October 20th after a period of declining health at the age of 82. She was a resident of Campton for 58 years. Marie was born on December 21, 1937 in Rumney NH to Mildred (Camp) and Lester Coffin. She was married to her husband Winston for over 45 years and had two daughters, Tammy and Robin. Marie was proud to be a housewife, mother, and grandmother. She was a homemaker, making her childrens clothes, canning and freezing numerous vegetables from the garden, loved crafts, cooking, gardening, avid animal lover, and most of all spending time with her family. Marie owned her own craft shop, worked at a clothing factory, and was a member of Campton Baptist Church where she was a Sunday school teacher for 10 years. She also worked at Kelly’s florist and used to sing in a country band in her early years. Marie was a strong woman of faith, had a great sense of humor, and loved making people feel welcome at her home. Her pride and joy was being a grandmother which she cherished every moment with her grandchildren. We can only imagine what a beautiful reunion in heaven it was for her and her family members that preceded her. She will be greatly missed here on Earth by all who knew her especially by her daughter Robin.
