West Lebanon, N.H. —
Ida worked for many years at Whitman Press in Lebanon, N.H., and then at Timken Aerospace until she retired. She then took in foster children and adopted four.

Merrill and her son, Zachary Merrill; brothers, Ray Dickerson, Roy Dickerson and Robert Dickerson; grandson, Jeffrey K. Martin Jr. and granddaughter, Jordan E. LaCroix, as well as many nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind her faithful dog Bella who was always by her side and she loved very much.
