Annie Lurene Mercer, age 97, passed away peacefully, on October 17, at home in Jacksonville, Florida.
Annie was born to George and Millie Chance on May 4, 1924 in Baxley, GA. Annie grew up during the great depression and completed school through the 7th grade before having to leave to help on the family's farm.
Two things that Annie loved most were her family and being outdoors. One of the things that brought Annie great joy was when she took her grandchildren fishing.
Annie was preceded by her husband Claude Mercer, her six siblings, her son Thomas Raysor of Orange Park, Florida, her daughter Virginia Raysor of Jacksonville, Florida, and she is survived by her daughter Thelma Green of Jacksonville, Florida. Annie has nine grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren, and 26 great great grandchildren.
