It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Winston Harold Mercer (June 23/1941 to June 24/2026). Predeceased by father Harold , mother Susie and son David, brother George and sister Leta Williams, brother in law Gower Williams. Leaves to mourn his wife Vera, daughter Sandra Perry (Andy), son Ron (Tina) and his beloved granddaughter Suelynn Perry. He also leaves to mourn brothers Fred (Bernadette), Joe (Pam) and sisters Lillian and Margaret Cumby (Rick), and sister in law Margaret Mercer (wife of brother George), as well as a wide family of cousins, nieces, nephews, godchildren and friends.
Winston was an active member in the community, through his service to his church and his work with the Lions Club. He was always ready to lend a helping hand. He enjoyed being in the woods, working on old cars, and above all spending time with his granddaughter SueLynn. She was the light of his life .
A special thanks from the family goes out to Garry Philips. Garry and dad met for coffee most mornings, talked about old cars and world affairs. They knocked around like two retired buddies should, telling stories and having great laughs. Garry’s friendship meant a great deal to Winston and he was very thankful for his friendship with Garry and his wife Debbie.
Visitation will take place at Holloway’s Funeral Home in Whitbourne on Sunday June 28/2026, from 1 to 4 pm and 7 to 9 pm. Funeral services will be held at St Barnabas Anglican Church in Blaketown on Monday June 29/2026 at 2 pm
To the Mercer Family,
Yesterday I visited with your mother at Glenbrook and ask about your father and she told me of his passing. I was shocked!
My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you as you gather to give thanks for his life and witness. Another great man has gone home to his eternal rest.
Rest in Peace, My friend Winston.
Sending our deepest condolences to the Mercer Family,
Thinking of you all at this time with heartfelt sympathy. Winston is a person we will always remember as having a smile and a kind word to greet you. He always took the time and genuine interest to ask how you and others in your life were doing and what’s been new for you. It was always such a pleasure to meet up with him when out and about, or at family gatherings, and to spend time in his warm and friendly company. A true gentleman.
Keeping family and friends in our hearts and in our prayers at this time.
Rest in Peace Dear Winston.
Tina and Bill Hollett
