Obituary of Helen Merschrod
After enjoying this column for many years, Mom is now the subject.
Helen Ball Merschrod gently passed away on June 28th after a brief illness/stroke at her home.
She was born on October 12, 1916 in Long Island City, NY to Anne and Joseph Ball and came to live in Norwalk in 1947 with her husband Frank and children Kris and Jane.
Helen was active in many community organizations in Norwalk and West Norwalk, in addition to the Girl Scouts of America. She volunteered with Hospice, The Red Cross, Matthew’s Mansion, The Food Pantry, FISH and Norwalk Hospital. As well as being part of the West Norwalk Association and the Ladies Guild.
The family was very active in Roton Point Beach Club and spent many wonderful summers there.
Fortunately during her last week children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews were able to visit in person and by phone.
Helen was pre-deceased by her husband, Frank in 1988. She leaves behind her son Kris (Stella), daughter Jane, grandchildren Claudia (Vincent), Kristin (Peter), Erika, Evan (Kristin) and Monica (Rich). Great grandchildren Ryan, Michael, Elaia, Shaia, Gavin and Lorelei. Donations to Hospice or Malta House would be what she would have wanted.
