Carita Merget

Carita L. Merget, passed away peacefully at the age of 99, on Tuesday, September 6, 2022, at Sheboygan Progressive Health Services.

She was born in Sheboygan on January 24, 1923, to the late Edward and Irene (Judies) Karbe.  On October 3, 1942, Carita was married to her sweetheart, Arvon Merget, in Dubuque, Iowa.  He preceded her in death on October 12, 1979.  Along with being employed at Larson’s Plywood, Carita was a natural caregiver.  She loved her family dearly and was always there for them.  She served those she loved and enjoyed being a provider to them.  Some of her passions were cooking, baking, gardening, sewing, and putting puzzles together.  She took pride in her home and would spend the summer months outside tending to her yard and garden. She loved to share a meal, a drink, and a laugh.  Carita also loved animals, having many dogs over the years, including Mulder, who held a special place in her heart.
