Flossie was born August 27, 1930, to Everette and Rena (Crawford) Coulter in McWillie, Oklahoma, and met her Heavenly Father on February 25, 2017, in Enid. Flossie attended school in McWillie and Helena, graduating from Helena High School in 1948. On August 12, 1950, she married Hiram E. Merrill in Cherokee. They made their home in Alva and Clinton and moved to Enid in 1969. Flossie was an audit clerk at Romine & Thomas Accounting Firm. She was a member of Alva Church of the Nazarene, where she was president of the Nazarene Missionary Society, and later attended First Nazarene Church in Enid and Cedar Ridge Wesleyan Church. Flossie loved God, and was a great Christian example to her family. Flossie was a model homemaker and spent hours making beautiful quilts and embroidered hand towels for her family. She made the best sand plum jelly and was an accomplished canner. A family gathering always included Flossie's delicious homemade chicken and noodles and mashed potatoes. Flossie's purpose in life was to care for her family. Her greatest desire was to see all of her family members in Heaven one day.
