Mrs Merlin, I have known you most of my life, you are the reason I loved working in early childhood, I always admired your dedication, strength & love of your community & the families you worked with. I remember the day you offered me a job with you working at the Save the Children Fund Kindergarten, I didn’t realise it at the time but you saw in me the aptitude l had for working within early childhood, I thank you for giving me my love of early childhood & working with families. You will be missed Mrs Merlin.

Mary will be sadly missed as a pioneer, educator , mother and beautiful lady. I remember her as a little girl as my kindergarten teacher, later on as an educator and of course as a matriarch of Robinvale’s history. She made time to talk to others, her warm smile made you feel at ease and she contributed enormously to the community. Condolences to Mary’s family at this time.

Heart felt condolences to all the families.
Mary was a very special person. An icon in the Robinvale community. Her name will continue to be shared by so many past and present Robinvale community members. A little of her generosity lives on in so many of us.
