Nancy Merle

Nancy A. Merle, loving wife, mother, grandma, and friend, age 87, a resident of Danbury, Wi, passed away peacefully on December 15, 2024.

Nancy was born November 11, 1937, to Vladimir and Anna Brioschi.

She married Marvin Merle on August 2, 1958, in St. Paul, MN.

Nancy worked for the Sears Outlet as a retail sales associate and loved meeting and talking with customers. She was an active volunteer in various organizations.

Nancy was the lady everyone knew with the big, kind, compassionate heart. She enjoyed going bumming with family and friends, reading, baking (specifically loved by all were her cookies, lemon bars and fudge), and loved animals - especially her dogs. She also loved nature and spent endless time outdoors tending to her flower gardens, working on the beach, enjoyed feeding the deer, critters, birds, and geese, and could fix anything using a popsicle stick and a bread twist tie. Her family and friends were important to her and she treasured the time spent with them.

Nancy was preceded in death by her husband, Marvin; her parents; her sister and 2 brothers, and nephew, Tom.

She will be forever missed by her children David Merle, Jim (Chris) Merle, Patti Narusiewicz, and Julie (Chad) Lechman; and grandchildren, Dan (Kayln), James, Nick (Becka), Katie, Spencer, Ciarra and Mackenzie; along with her “grand-dogs”, other relatives and many dear friends.

A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, January 10, 2025, at 1:00 PM (visitation 11-1) at Swedberg Taylor Funeral Home in Grantsburg, Wi.

The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the Continuing Care Center, Grantsburg, Wi and St. Croix Hospice for their wonderful care and support.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to the family.
