Dear friends and family of Marilyn Meert,
On Tuesday, July 14th, 2020, Marilyn was brought to glory to celebrate with her Savior.
What a comfort it is for us all to know that Marilyn now triumphs with all the other believers in Jesus. She experiences what we can only imagine:
"Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude... shouting, 'Hallelujah! For our God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bridegroom has made himself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given him to wear.'" (Revelation 19)
A drive by visitation will take place from 10:30 to 11 am on Friday July 17th. High risk individuals are encouraged to come during this time.
A general visitation (social distancing required) will take place from 11:00 to 1:00 pm.
A funeral will take place outdoors at Peace Lutheran Church on Friday, July 17th at 1 pm. As an outdoor worship gathering, it is open to the public and the number of attendees may be 100 or more. Peace and the family ask attendees to follow current guidelines. If all goes well, at risk individuals may stay in their cars, watch the service, and listen over the FM radio (drive in service) - please test the day of about 12:30. Due to the location, the service will not be available live online. The recorded service will be available several hours afterward, click here.
A private burial will take place later in the day.

Marilyn was a dear treasure of the family of God at Peace as well as the Otsego-Plainwell community. Marilyn was baptized March 13 nearly 90 years ago. She was confirmed April 14 almost 75 years ago.
Please pray for Marilyn’s family:
Lord Jesus, by your victory over death you have opened the way to eternal life for all of us. Marilyn’s family especially is sad because of their loss. Comfort them in their trial. Point the way to life. Renew their joy each morning. In Jesus' name, Amen.
