Lilianna Meritt

Lilianna Meritt, of Grant, Neb., entered into eternal rest with Jesus on Sept. 21, 2022, in Grant.

Lilianna was born February 24, 2022, at North Platte, Neb., blessing the lives of her parents, Donny and Daniela (Fernandez) Merritt, and her older sister, Yulianna. 

Lilianna was the happiest girl. Our first daughter wasn’t much of a smiler when she was a baby, but Lili could light up a whole entire room. She was so special to us that I often caught myself giving her extra attention, but now I know God knew she truly needed it. We cherished the time we had with her. She will be truly missed. Please continue to pray for our family. 

It was with a tragic abruptness that Lilianna left to be with God, leaving in her wake such a longing. May God wrap His arms around the heartbroken and provide His grace to those who seek His comfort. Lilianna will forever be loved and her memory treasured.

Lilianna was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, Donald E Merritt Jr.

Left to cherish her memory are her parents, Donny and Daniela Merritt, and her sister, Yulianna, all of Grant, along with many other relatives and friends.

Private family services will be held for Lilianna at the New Life Fellowship Church in Grant, with Pastor John Goodell officiating. Private interment will be in the Grant Fairview Cemetery.

A memorial has been established in Lilianna’s memory for later designation by her family. Condolences may be shared with the family at bullocklongfuneralhome.com.

Bullock-Long Funeral Home of Grant is in charge of arrangements.
