Merry Renk has passed away

As the header says, merry renk (sic) has moved on to her greater
reward. We’ve been in Italy the last three weeks so we’re not up to
date with life here and don’t know many details, but it seems she
passed Sunday night, peacefully, at the ripe age of 91. She was a
founding member of our local Metal Arts Guild, and an important
figure in the arts and crafts jewelry movement in the 50’s. More
importantly she was our friend and maybe even more importantly,
Jo-Ann’s friend in particular. She was much loved and will be missed
by all of us.
