Charities
The family greatly appreciates donations made to these charities in Merle Rose Jordan 's name.
So sorry to just find out about the passing of Merle. She was a wonderful lady. Spent many hours in her presence and enjoyed every minute with her. As much as she entertained me I think I entertained her on a few trail rides through Beulah Mountain Park with a very stubborn mare that didn’t want to be the first to go through anything that even resembled a gate. Merle always commented that you thought there was a bear on the other side of the gate or pole waiting to get her. The West of City Park area will not be the same without her. She is happy in heaven with a pen full of horses and everything else that wonders in that needs a home. Wish we would of seen it in time to make the trip back from Texas to share in so many wonderful memories.
I would like to express my condolences to the family for your loss. I used to rent the duplex on the corner of Sunset Ln. back in the early 1980’s. Merle was always such a character and a sweetheart. She was one of the hardest working people I had ever known at that time. You could always expect her to be doing something with her horses on any given day. I think she was the biggest name in Westpark back then. She will be missed by many.
Merle will be remembered for her kindness, warmth and her infectious laugh. A wonderful mother and great friend. All of us who knew her are the lucky ones. I share in your sorrow.
We will miss Merle’s sense of humor. We enjoyed posting photo memories on her timeline. Her generous heart was as big as her smile. We remember her chuckling when she and Glenn gave us chickens with a waterer and feeder for our wedding – bringing us years of “eggcelent” breakfasts! She also gave our family the wooden rocking horse that all 3 of our children loved – of course Merle would make sure they were horseback! Sending thoughts and prayers to family.
