MERCER, ELDRED NORMAN (Junior) August 2, 1940- March 1, 2023
It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our dear husband, father and grandfather Eldred Norman (Junior) Mercer aged 82 of Whitbourne.
Predeceased by parents Norman and Florence Mercer, son Michael who died as an infant, brother Lloyd, sister Rosalind and brothers-in-law Roy and Noel.
Leaving to mourn his loving wife of 57 years Nora, children Paul (Philly), Lynn Ann, Heather (Darryl Osborne), granddaughters Rachel and Erica of Halifax.
He will be sadly missed by sisters Norma, Audrey (Lloyd Adams), Marty (Neil Hillier), sisters-in-law Enid (Howard Richards) and Sandra, numerous nephews and nieces, as well as his many friends.
Junior made friends wherever he went, no matter the place he always found someone to talk to. He loved many things but above all he cherished his family.
Junior was always willing to lend a hand and help others. In his honour, in lieu of flowers, his family ask that you do a good deed for someone else.
Cremation has taken place. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Holloway’s Funeral Home. Visitation Sunday March 5th 2 pm – 4 pm and 7 pm – 9 pm. Funeral service Monday March 6th at 2 pm at Saint John the Baptist Anglican Church Whitbourne.
