She is preceded in death by her son, David; brother, Clarence Mierkey; and parents, Evan and Clara Mierkey.

A funeral Mass was celebrated at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, May 3, 2017, at St. Thomas Catholic Church, Milan. Rev. George Graham presided. Burial was at the St. John’s Wuertzburg Cemetery. Visitation was held at Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home in Athens on Tuesday, May 2, from 4 until 7 p.m., with a prayer service following at 7 p.m., and again on Wednesday from 10 a.m. until the time of service at the church.
