Merry Trester Shifflett ’80 – Pratts, VA
What are some highlights from the last 40 years?
- I have 3 amazing children and 5 grandchildren (so far) that are the light of my life. I have held various positions but none compare to that of being a mother and grandmother. I love spending time with all of them.
- I currently work in the insurance industry as an agent selling and servicing Property and Casualty Insurance. I lived in Stone Mountain, GA and Crawfordsville, IN before moving back to VA in 2009.
Who would you particularly like to see at the reunion (virtual and in-person)?
Betty Burton Thayer, my former roommate, Phi Mu Sorority sisters, and many different friends from college days.
How many (and/or) who of your classmates do you still keep in contact with today?
I keep in contact with many through Facebook and have travelled with Betty Burton Thayer in the past.
What is your favorite Elon memory?
- Probably my most favorite and memorable was Winter Term 1978 where I visited England, Scotland, France and Switzerland.
- Phi Mu activities, banquets, Greek Week, fraternity parties and dances were also fun times.
What is something interesting that you want your classmates to know about you?
I love to sew and craft and make my children, grandchildren and those special to me Christmas ornaments every year and appliqué seasonal shirts for my grandchildren.
