Featuring Mary Ellen Myers

Last week we were out celebrating the birthday of a very key member of our team -  Mary Ellen Myers. I am prone to telling anyone who will listen that I have the best mother-in-law in the world and by publishing this here I am simply being consistent on a larger scale. Mary Ellen is a ‘Drew’ from Merlin and married Bob Myers form Prairie Siding. In addition to birthing and raising her daughter (thanks for that) and being an amazing grandmother to our four boys, Mary Ellen has a tireless work ethic that was clearly passed on to her children.

As a Reception Team Leader, Mary Ellen helps us coordinate the funeral lunches at our Chatham and Blenheim reception centres and helps coordinate the logistics for offsite receptions at any number of locations throughout Chatham-Kent. When she is not working receptions, she can be found working visitations and is often deep cleaning any one of the funeral homes, usually before the sun comes up. Every morning during the pandemic, she would come in early and sanitize the buildings before anyone else came in to work (and I do mean every morning). She did have Christmas off though - the grandkids were pretty insistent.
