I remember all the children's Christmas parties in the 1960s Crouse-Hinds (where my father had his career) gave, which were hosted by Merrily and Eddie Flum Num on stage at the Lowes Theatre (now Landmark). Very exciting for a child. They were genuine, delightful people.
Corky, I just heard of your Mom's passing. You may not remember me, as it's been so many years. I lived around the corner from Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard. I remember playing with you and Chuck when we were children. My deepest sympathies to you. She was a wonderful lady.

The Magic Toy Shop was part of my life when I was a kid. I have such fond memories of watching the show. Merrily was such a wonderful educator. You didn't even realize you were learning, she had a gift of leading by example.
My heartfelt condolences to Merrily's family and friends. She is smiling down on you from Heaven.
Like George Bailey in "It's A Wonderful Life", Merrily probably had no idea of the extent of the lives she transformed!!! Countless children were impacted with love, kindness and acceptance by her on that Magical Show!!! So many kids who lacked a loving family, who felt neglected, who felt inadequate, who were lonely, who lacked self-confidence, were all blessed to have this amazing lady in their lives for 30 minutes each morning. And because they did, their lives were turned around for the better!! And who knows how many lives they too helped later on, because Merrily helped them in their youth. But she knows now!!! Thank you to her for her selfless and caring role in our lives. And my deepest sympathy to all of her wonderful family. God bless and keep smiling!!!
Heaven has gained another beautiful angel. Smiling through some tears as I remember those mornings spent with the Magic Toy Shop. Rest in peace Merrily.
My fondest memories of Marilyn are definitely those mornings watching the "Magic Toy Shop" everyday. What a blessing she was all those years ago.
It makes me sad to have lost such a lovely "Lady".
I never got to meet you in person, but I felt that you were a true friend.
REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND.
So sad to hear of her passing I grew up watching the show I have many fond memories Heaven has gained another Angel love and prayers to her family thank you for sharing your mom with so many children! RIH
Merrily brought magic into our childhoods, and taught us that a smile is the key to opening doors - wherever the road took us when we left the Magic Toy Shop. May her memory be for a blessing always.
There are not enough words to describe my pain and sorrow over the passing of such a wonderful lady. Merilee was such an important part of my childhood and helped shape who I am today. My condolences to her family. She will certainly be missed.
I loved the Magic ToyShop as a little girl and remember being so thrilled once when I was at a restaurant with my mother and Merrilee was there as well! I was honored to visit her monthly and share communion, while she was at The Cottages. Will miss her so.
