Judith (Judy) L. Merritt, age 81 passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 8, at her home in Appleton, WI. She was born in Marinette, WI, on September 22, 1941 to Earl and Doris (Hess) Miller.
Judy called Appleton home for most of her life. She held a variety of jobs over the years but found her true work calling as a loan officer at Wells Fargo. She truly enjoyed helping people purchase a home and could always find a way to make it happen, even under the most challenging circumstances. She loved gardening, music, traveling, baseball, and time with family.
She is survived by her daughter, Barbara (Paul) Ristau; grandson Tony (Jessica) Probst; sister Kathy (Bud) Collar; and many nieces and nephews as well as great nieces and nephews and many other good friends and family.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Richard (Kathy) Miller.
