Merrion graduated from Robinson High School in 1972. She was employed at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Waco, Texas for over twenty years until her retirement in 2005.
Merrion will be remembered most for her ability to love and accept others without judgment and her famous “Sock-It-To-Me Cake”. She loved to play bingo and spend time with her family and friends.
She is preceded in death by her husband Robert Mays, her mother and father, as well as, her sister Erma Smith and brothers Aaron Lang, and Robert Lang Jr.
Merrion leaves behind her cherished children; daughter Monique Caufield (Darrell) of Waco, TX; sons Craig Mays of Waco, TX; Malcolm Dudley of Waco, TX; stepson Thomas Nevels of Waco, TX. Two sisters Inez Daniels of Golinda, TX; Shirley Simpson (Charles) of Chilton, TX. She also leaves behind 6 grandchildren; Patriona, Destini, Darrell Jr., Kha’Mya, Dmar’e, and Domani.
