Merle Marguerite Miles Broderick Kromka was a woman any person would be proud to call a friend. She always put everyone else's needs before her own starting from a young girl in single digits to her 70s watching over everyone in her neighborhood. She was a nurturer, a trait passed down through her daughters to her granddaughters. On November 21, 2016, at the age of 79, Merle passed away after years of battling kidney and heart problems. The Lord decided that the best way for her to watch over all of us was by His side. She is survived by 4 children, 5 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren and she will be missed by every single one of them.
