Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or Memory
MERLE EILEEN WHERRETT
Career woman (Canadian Education Association), longtime resident of Toronto's Manulife Centre, proud of her extended family, she was our official photographer and home movie maker and delighted in giving gifts, goodies and her famous Sally Lunn bread. A kind and intelligent person she appreciated beautiful things and fine art. She frequented many Bloor Street shops and restaurants and loved her Second Cup.
Many thanks to the staff from House Calls, Ewart Angus, VHA Home HealthCare, Meighan Manor and Imee Ramelo for caring for Merle in her later years.
Born in Manitoba, Merle's wish was to return there to be buried alongside her parents.
Remember Merle with a cup of coffee, a sweet, and if you wish, a donation to a charity of your choice.

I was lucky enough to have enjoyed Merle's company for many years. I always looked forward to visiting Merle every week on Saturday mornings at Meighan Manor. Our family was very lucky to have had an aunt like Merle. - Posted by: Jamie Annett (Nephew) on: Sep 17, 2020

Aunt Merle was a unique person and was everyone's favorite aunt. She had no children herself and always made my cousins, sisters, and I feel special. Even though she lived far away, it was always good when she'd come to visit. Goodbye Merle - you are missed greatly. - Posted by: Jim Mackenzie (Nephew) on: May 03, 2020
