Carol Anne Merritt Wanninger was my dear baby-sister in a family of five children. Carol and I were the two youngest growing up in the Merritt family. That meant we were "Secret Buddies" growing up together amongst our older sister and two brothers! Carol was special in many ways as we all are! She was fun-loving, kind and a sincere care giver all around. I will always feel blessed in my life to have her as my loving baby-sister. God bless Carol in this Life and the next! Sincere "Thanks to All" for their memories & condolences.

We are so sad to hear about our cousin Carol. She was the youngest and the wittiest of all, the quickest to laugh and the slowest to anger.

I am so very sad to hear this news. Merritt was a family friend for such a long time. She was so cute, so funny and witty. My best to Will and his family.
