Lily Croy Mehrer
Dec. 7, 2024

Lily Croy Mehrer, 92 years of age, passed away peacefully on Saturday Dec. 7, 2024. Born in Rocky Mountain House, she was the eldest daughter of William and Alvina Long’s nine children — of which five preceded her in death.

Lily married the late Dave Croy in 1951, and they had eight children (Marlene, Marvin, Raymond, Day, Leslie, Leola, Bernie and Debbie). The family moved to High Level, Alta., and homesteaded in 1961. Tragedy took her husband Dave in 1968 and her eldest son Marvin in 1985.

Lily married the late Jake Mehrer in 1983, and she became a stepmom to Byron and Corrine. Jake and Lily moved to a farm in High Level after living in Saskatchewan and Rocky Mountain House. Jake passed away in 2005. Lily moved back to the homestead until her health started to fail.
Lily professed her life to Christ at an early age. She loved to sing, read the bible, pray for and with others and praising the Lord. She loved to garden and raise animals. But her favourite thing was to spend time with her family, laughing and always wearing a smile. She was a loving and caring person, devoted wife, mother and friend, always thinking of others. “To know her was to love her.”

Lily leaves to cherish her loving memory, her seven children, one stepson, 32 grandchildren, 46 great-grandchildren, and 17 great-great-grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
