My wife’s grandma “Merdie” passed away this Thanksgiving. She was an amazing woman with a historical political career as a local Democrat Party leader in Lafayette, Indiana. She was twice elected to the Democratic National Convention (1980 and 1984) as a delegate from Indiana and served as a voter registration officer for Tippecanoe County, Indiana. During the past year she took up water color painting and re-created a Monet, a portait of her grandson Giuseppe Alkire, some lovely outdoor scenes from various photo clippings. We remembered Merdie at a memorial service on December 1st with photo albums, her paintings and other memorabilia. Merdie was always full of joy and laughter and for that she will be missed. Here are the funeral notice and obituaries.
