Meridith Jean Pressly, daughter of Jesse Finch Sr. and Estes Kerns Finch, was born July 4, 1939, in King City, Missouri and entered her Heavenly home January 17, 2023, in Lebanon, Missouri, at the age of eighty-three years.
Meridith made a profession of faith in Christ and for many years attended Lebanon First Assembly. The love, support and continued prayers from her church family were precious to her.
On August 9, 1956, Meridith was united in marriage with her true love, Gerald Pressly, who preceded her in death on July 24, 2012. Prior to his passing, they had shared nearly fifty-six years of laughter and memories, while raising their six children.
Meridith and Gerald owned and operated several businesses in Lebanon: Joy Motel, Dog-N-Suds Drive-in, Nifty Café and Triple A Ambulance Service to name a few, all while raising her family. She also worked in home health care for many years, even into her late 70's and loved her patients dearly. She enjoyed cooking, sewing, painting, arts and crafts, flowers, and interior decorating. She loved to cook and for many years, there was a standing Sunday meal at their house for the whole family. She loved time spent with family and friends, and will be missed by all those who knew and loved her.
She leaves her six children; 10 grandchildren; several great- grandchildren; four sisters; many other nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents and one brother, Jesse Finch, Jr.
Meridith was the epitome of a wife, mother and grandmother. She loved her family unconditionally. What a blessing she was to those who knew her and what a glorious reunion it will be one day at the gates of Heaven.
