Eyvonne Simone Merritt was born October 9, 1968 in Camden, Arkansas. She peacefully entered eternal rest on October 7, 2025 and is now joined with her Lord.

Eyvonne accepted Christ at an early age at Whitest Chapel Baptist Church and lived her life as a faithful servant of the Lord. She later rededicated her life at Victory Church on June 26, 2016, alongside her husband, Tim Merritt.

Eyvonne is a proud graduate of Fairview High School, class of 1988. She was a very hard worker, she held various positions from Kids Play in Spokane, WA, a Switchboard Operator at Fairchild Air Force Base, a Postal Clerk at Yokota Airforce Base in Japan, and 15 years of leadership at General Dynamics.

As we remember, Eyvonne, we hold fast to the words of Psalm 144:1-2: "Blessed be the Lord my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle— My loving kindness and my fortress, My high tower and my deliverer, My shield and the One in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me."
