RACHELLE'S OBITUARY
Rachelle Diane Mertz, 27, of Fort Wayne, Indiana passed away early Tuesday morning, February 19, 2019 at Visiting Nurse \endash Golden Years.

Rachelle was born on January 29, 1992 in Fort Wayne, Indiana to James (Jim) Mertz and Pat (Harter) Mertz.

She was a member of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Soest.

Rachelle was a preschool teacher at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church in Waynedale. She previously worked as a preschool teacher at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Soest.

Rachelle was an avid country music fan. Children were an integral part of Rachelle's life. From volunteering her time with V.B.S. at her church to being a preschool teacher and babysitter, she enjoyed the ability to care and teach those younger ones entrusted to her. Being able to provide structure in the lives of not only the children, but also the school, was a gift that she enjoyed sharing.

She is survived by her father, Jim A. Mertz of Fort Wayne; and brother, Paul S. (Kelly) Mertz of Mishawaka.

Rachelle was preceded in death by her mother, Pat Mertz; and two brothers in infancy, Douglas and Kyle Mertz.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, February 23, 2019, at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Soest located at 9909 Wayne Trace in Fort Wayne. Pastor Josef Henning will officiate.

Family and friends will be received from 4-8 p.m. Friday, February 22, 2019, at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Soest and one hour prior to the service Saturday at the church.

In lieu of flowers, Rachelle's family would prefer memorials be given in her memory to Visiting Nurse & Hospice Home \endash Golden Years or Emmanuel Lutheran Church Window Fund. 2
