In Loving Memory of Constance Merritt
by Gautam Bhatia
I am deeply saddened to share the sudden passing of Constance Merritt. As the former Secretary & Vice-Chair of the Naperville Township Democrats, Constance made a huge impact in our community. Constance was a devoted volunteer whose kindness, compassion and tireless service touched many lives. Her dedication and warm spirit made a lasting impact on everyone she met. Constance’s legacy of giving will continue to inspire us all.
🙏🏽 May her soul rest in peace 🙏🏽
I have been informed by her daughter Kristin Merritt Bolduc that there won’t be a service in Illinois. I will post the out of state service details when I receive them.
We plan to honor Constance’s legacy at the next NTD meeting on Thu Aug 28th. I encourage everyone to share their memories about Constance on .
Constance was a friend to me and will be greatly missed and remembered always.
