Meri P. Lott, 74, died April 2, 2021.  Meri was born on November 18, 1946 in Washington, D.C. to Harluf (Pete) and Gladys (Borger) Peterson.  She was confirmed in the Lutheran religion at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. She attended high school at Nathan High School, West Allis, Wisconsin. She graduated and completed nursing training in St. Lois. She joined the Peace Corps and used her nursing training while being stationed in Micronesia.  Upon her return to the United States, she worked at a medical college until she moved to Guam where she met her husband.

She loved to read, be in the garden, and connect with people. She had the type of soul that attracted others like spring sunshine after the long winter.
