Ester Pearl Merrill, 45, passed away peacefully on May 10, 2026. She was born on March 20, 1981, to Debra Merrill and the late Charles Merrill.
Ester was a caring, loving, and fun-loving woman who lit up every room she entered. She had a gift for making people laugh and could always bring joy to those around her. She never turned down a dare and lived life with a big heart and an even bigger smile.
She loved her family deeply and cherished the time spent with them. While music was one of the simple joys in her life, it was her kindness, humor, and the love she gave so freely that people will remember most.
Ester is survived by her mother, Debra Merrill; brother, Timothy Ferguson; fiancé, Lorenzo King; nephew, Austin; and nieces, Chloe, Matea, and Harper.
She was preceded in death by her father, Charles Merrill; brothers, Adam Merrill and Todd Ferguson; and her grandparents.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
