Merilee Beisner Obituary

Merilee A. Beisner

Merilee A. (Brown) Beisner, 86, passed away peacefully Monday evening, October 20, 2025, at Bridge Hospice Care Center, Findlay. She was born December 31, 1938, to Robert and Laurice Brown, in Montpelier. She graduated from Ft. Wayne International Business College, Ft. Wayne, Indiana, where she met her future husband, Larry G. Beisner. The pair married September 5, 1959, at St. Paul's Methodist Church in Montpelier, and were grateful to have celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2009, prior to his passing February 2014.

Merilee retired from Marathon Oil Company and Bridge Home Health and Hospice, but her work ethic didn't end there. She would go on to volunteer through church and Bridge Home Health and Hospice for many years. She had the biggest heart! In her lifetime, Merilee defined her life's devotion as the three F's: Faith, Family and Friends. Her family will admirably add a fourth: Fifty North. She could be one of the top 10 best advocates for 50N in the entire area! She utilized the facility regularly for activities such as yoga, wellness, and socialization (with an emphasis on socializing), prior to health issues slowing her down in late 2024.

Merilee was a proud girl, Mom! She is survived by her three daughters, Beth Beisner, Franklin, Sheri (Scott) Burnside and Lisa (Jeff) Click, both from Findlay; grandchildren, Alyssa Click, Cody Burnside and Austin Click; great-grandchildren, Hadley, Harper and Hayes Decker.

Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with their heart and soul, there is no such thing as separation. A celebration of life service will begin at 1 p.m. Friday, October 24, 2025, at St. Andrews United Methodist Church, Findlay, where visitation will be from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. prior to service. A private family burial will be at Knollcrest Gardens, east of Findlay.

Arrangements are being handled by COLDREN-CRATES FUNERAL HOME, Findlay.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donations in Merilee's honor to St. Andrews United Methodist Church, Sandusky Street, Findlay, and/or Bridge Home Health and Hospice, Findlay.
