Merilyn “Merry” Eustis, 84, voyaged onward into the hands of our Lord on Dec. 7, 2020. Her husband Ralph and family were at her side as she departed peacefully with a smile on her beautiful face. She was an inspiring, loving lady with an infectious personality who loved everyone.
Beloved daughter of the late Norman and Dorothy Hodgson, Merry grew up in Portland, ME. It was there that she met her soulmate Ralph W. Eustis. Their 64-year voyage together as husband and wife, took them to live in places like Tokyo, Manhattan, California, and Washington DC. After Ralph retired from the Coast Guard, they settled in Mattapoisett in 1975 but embarked on many personal and professional adventures both on land and on sea.
