Meredith Eileen Herr (Ashba)

Meredith E. Herr Ashba, 94, of Monticello, passed away at her home, Tuesday-February 15, 2022, at 12:29am. She was formerly from Delphi and had lived in Monticello the past 5 years. She was born April 9, 1927, in Carroll County, to the late Amos Levi & Marguerite Moore Herr. She married Paul E. Ashba in Delphi, on June 7, 1945, and he preceded her in death on December 8, 2005. Meredith graduated from Delphi High School in 1945. She started working at the former Alcoa Plant in Lafayette, then went to work for Bryant Manufacturing, and RCA, both in Monticello. She then started working at Wallmann's Foods in Delphi as a cashier, where she loved to interact with her many customers. She joined the Yeoman United Methodist Church on April 18, 1954, taught Sunday school, and helped in the kitchen, when they would have church functions. A self-taught organ player, she enjoyed singing and playing the church hymns she so dearly loved. When her family lived on the river, she loved to be outside and enjoyed the beauty of it, and watching her family swim, boat, and play in the water. They enjoyed their camping trips to Indiana Beach, and other family vacations they would take together. Meredith loved fashion, and was always put together just right, when she would go out on the town, to church, or work.  Meredith was a tremendous cook and loved to bake and make things for her family, and the gatherings they would have. Family was everything to Meredith. She dearly loved her children and grandchildren, and anytime they could all be together brought her such great joy.

Ashba Jr of Monticello; sister-in-law-Annabelle Larimore of Delphi. 10 grandchildren; 25 great grandchildren; & 12 great great grandchildren survive.
