Claire, as she preferred to be called, was born 27 February 1929 to Frank and Mary Merkel in Tiltonsville, Ohio.

After graduation in 1952 and re-locating to Virginia, Bob and Claire began their 65 year love affair while building their family and business.

Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Bob; two sons, Mitch and his wife Mary and Matt and his wife Tamara; four grandchildren, Megan, Brooke, Kaitlyn and Brandon; sister, Marilyn; and brother, Jim along with a host of relatives and friends.

Sorry for the loss of your dear love one. May you find comfort in God’s promise to swallow up death forever and wipe the tears from all faces. Isaiah 25:8

I’m so sorry for the loss of your loved one.

God views death as an enemy. (1 Cor. 15:26)

And, God is eager to conquer this enemy death, and to resurrect our loved ones. (Job 14:14,15)

At that time, death will be no more. (Rev 21:4)

I hope this comforts you and your family.
