Obituary of Nancy Blythe MERRITT

October 20, 1972 – Calgary, Alberta
November 20, 2020 – Calgary, Alberta

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved daughter and friend, Nancy Merritt of Calgary, AB. She passed away on Friday, November 20, 2020 at the age of 48 years. 

Nancy played an important role at The City, joining as a cartographer working on dispatch mapping, developing ways of creating consistent access to address data for use by Calgary Fire, Calgary Police Service and EMS.  She led the development of Calgary’s first Common Operating Picture for use by CEMA, an international award winning project in 2013.  Her role grew to be an integral part of the MEP team, leading the mapping and location analysis for emergency preparedness, response and recovery.   She was a key collaborative and enthusiastic partner to groups across The City.

Nancy had a very outgoing, positive and caring personality. Each time you met her, you were greeted with a sincere smile and fun-loving attitude. The one thing that Nancy was most proud of was her daughter, Ella Joy Merritt. She loved spending time with her and it is evident in the person that Ella is growing up to be.  

Nancy is survived by many family members and friends who all loved her dearly.
