Memorial donations for Jocelyn “Josie” Merriman

Our beloved and youngest sister/daughter/aunt has been taken from us all too soon. Josie was involved in a tragic fatal car accident in Los Angeles, CA, and two of her three brothers and her nephews live in Pittsburgh, PA (where Josie also lived for a few years in her 20’s). Josie was a fabulous person you could always count on to be there for you.

Josie would light up any room that she entered, was an avid lover of all spectrums of music, a karaoke queen, a skater chick, rock climber, writer of beautiful poetry, and could spin an outrageously hilarious yarn like no other. She was then, and always will be, a friend to all.

We don't have much, but we'll always have each other. This is truly a time of need for us to all come together so that we may embrace, cherish, and celebrate our wonderful memories of Josie.

Please help us come together and find some consolation in each other’s arms.

Feel free to contact us with any questions, insights, or reflections; we are also on the hunt for every photo of her that we can get our hands on for her memorial service, and if you can’t donate, please share.

Thank you.
