Merrell L. (Wheaton) Reinhart, formerly of Shook Road, Hadley passed away Wednesday, March 1, 2017 at the St. John Lutheran Senior Care Center, Mars, PA. She was 77.

She was born in Ravenswood, WV on May 15, 1939, a daughter of Gertrude (Pease) and Clarence Wheaton. She married Harry J. Reinhart on June 20, 1964. He preceded her in death in 2007.

Merrell was self employed as a sales representative for Avon for 30 years and was also a homemaker. She volunteered for the Sheakleyville Fire Department’s Annual Homecoming and Chicken Pie Supper.

Merrell is survived by her daughters, Shirley Spiegel and husband Ronald, of Hadley and Melissa Foust and companion David Thompson, of Harrisville, a brother, Johnny M. Wheaton and wife Karen, of Jackson Center, and two grandchildren, Rayna LeAnn Foust and Justin Donald Foust.

She is preceded in death by her husband and a daughter, Merrell Sue Reinhart, three sisters, Berle M. Augustine, Mary Juanita Wheaton and Ireta M. Best, and a brother, Darrell E. Wheaton.
