IN MEMORY OF A GOOD FRIEND...

  Merrill Pratt Thomas died peacefully in her Sun City Center home on
  Thursday, March 6, 2008.


  Merrill was born in Memphis, Tennessee on January 9, 1908 and spent
  many years of her adult life as a world traveler. She resided in Shanghai,
  China and Indonesia in the 1930’s and 1940’s before settling in New York
  City. She moved to Florida with her husband, Tommy in 1970.  Merrill was a
  graduate of Randolph-Macon Women’s College in Lynchburg, Virginia.  She
  was a committed philanthropist for many years, providing funds for women
  and children, the arts and charities for the poor. Merrill often remarked how
  God had blessed her with a good life and many dear friends. 

Her dear friend and companion of several years, Sister Rosalie Hennessey remembers Merrill as loving, caring and happy…one who never lost her roots as a gracious southern lady. Her generous heart, concern for others, zest for life and beautiful smile will be remembered by numerous friends who will miss her friendship, her vibrant spirit and keen intellect.
