Beverly Ann Wright Merrill

February 24, 1932 — March 13, 2021

Beverly Ann Wright Merrill, beloved daughter of Clifford and Oral Wadley Wright passed away March 13, 2021. She was the only daughter and only sister to her brothers LeRoy, Gordon, Kenneth and Norman. Born in Pleasant Grove, Utah February 24, 1932. Graduated Pleasant Grove High School and attended BYU. Married R. Reese Merrill May 21, 1952 in the Salt Lake Temple.

Her greatest joy and love were for her six children, 22 Grandchildren and 34 Great Grandchildren. Children: Sheralee (Bill) Lawson – Syracuse, Utah; David (Margo) Merrill – Rexburg, Idaho; Keith (Tawna) Merrill – Bountiful, Utah; Suzanne (Kevin) Toone – Bountiful, Utah; Rachelle (Lincoln) Homer – Fruit Heights, Utah; Janine (Marc) Olsen – Lander, Wyoming; and brother Norman (Barbara) Wright – Provo, Utah.

Her membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and strong testimony of the Savior, Jesus Christ, were exemplified by her service in all Auxiliaries as a President, Counselor, Stake Leader, and teacher. As a young woman she served a mission in the Pleasant Grove Timpanogas Stake and with her husband served a mission in the Monterey Bay, California area.

Her life was blessed with music. She was always busy accompanying Ward, Stake, and Temple Choirs, accompanying soloists, performing personal solos and organ assignments in the Bountiful and Salt Lake Temples. Her precious piano and organ students will always remember her for the many lessons of life as well as music skills she taught them.

Her passion in life was preparing good food for her family, a clean home, marching bands, musical theater, good humor, a positive attitude, beautifully manicured flower gardens, homemade quilts, Christmas, personal organ lessons and BYU football games.

Beverly was always blessed with many friends, great family, good neighbors and church leaders who were a source of strength to her every need. She loved the scriptures, the temple, and little children. We love you mom and will always miss you. Your song lives on in the legacy you’ve created.
