Mertha retired from Walmart after managing the craft department for many years. In her earlier years, she owned and operated her own fabric shop, Sew’N’Save. She was a member of East Taylorsville Baptist Church. She enjoyed gardening, cooking, and crochet. She made the most beautiful Afghans in the world and gifted them to her family.
