Mervin worked for nearly three decades as a minister in the Salvation Army. Together with his wife Winnie and children, he lived across the US Eastern Territory of the Salvation Army. They later lived in Old Orchard Beach, ME for over 30 years. Throughout his life, Mervin spent countless hours caring for the needs of others and sharing with anyone who would listen, the story of Jesus and His unfailing love. “The Godly will flourish like the cedars of Lebanon, for they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house! They flourish in the courts of our God even in their old age.” Psalm 92:12-15.
There will be no public services. Interment will take place at Laurel Hills Cemetery in Saco, ME at a later date. Palmer Funeral Home - Hickey Chapel and Southlawn Cremation Services are assisting the family with arrangements.
