Merry Alice Stanley

In loving memory of Merry Alice (Light) Stanley. Mary was born on March, 31st 1963, and went home to our Lord and Savior on April, 5th 2022. She was a very well known individual who was a loving mother, sister, wife and friend. At one point in her life she managed a game hall, but she found her calling when she became a Caregiver. Later in life her and her husband owned and operated their own business together. Merry was of the Christian faith, and was baptized with her husband by Preacher McCain. She loved being a mother, and had a knack for drawing. She went on to have 2 boys with Scott Stanley, and later on have a little girl. She was very old fashioned and I learned how to make a baby belch and pass gas at the same time. She enjoyed drinking coffee and talking to her mom as often as she cold. Merry was an Aries and of course that explained why she was very head strong and stubborn at times. I will always love my mother, and she will never be forgotten. Merry was preceded in death by her husband, Scott Stanley; mother, Edith Morelock (Arnold); and sister, Mildred Light. Left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Crystal Overbey; sons, Jacob Taylor and Aaron Taylor; step-father, Ames Arnold; brother, Roger Arnold; sister, Robin Light; many, many grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. A Memorial Service will be held at Shades of Grace United Methodist Church on Friday, April 8th at 6:00 pm. Trinity Memorial Centers Funeral Home (423-723-8177) is honored to serve the Stanley family.
