Anne Rolland Merrill

Anne Rolland Merrill, age 90, entered into rest on June 25, 2025. She was born on December 6, 1934, to Leona and Harry H. Rolland. A devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, Anne was known for her warm heart, infectious sense of humor, and unshakable faith.

Anne attended an all-French school in New Hampshire until high school and graduated in 1952. On June 14 of that same year, she married the love of her life, Albert Merrill. Together, they built a beautiful life and raised four children.

Anne poured her energy and love into her family. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life: crossword and jigsaw puzzles, mystery novels, long walks, and hiking. She was also a talented pianist and had a deep appreciation for music.

Anne was a lifelong and devout Roman Catholic. She was actively involved in her church community, volunteering with the Winter Haven Friends of the Library bookstore and delivering communion to the sick through St. Joseph’s Catholic Church of Winter Haven.

She is survived by her children: Dale Anne McCullough, Gary Merrill (Jo Merrill), Lyn Fallucca, and Kathy Nelson; 8 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Albert Merrill; her parents, Leona and Harry H. Rolland; sisters Arlis Merrill and Irma Beauregard; brother Harry F. Rolland; son-in-law Dan Fallucca; and grandson Jonathan Fallucca.

Her legacy of love, laughter, and faith will live on through the generations she leaves behind.
