GREENVILLE – Inez Mercer Daniel, 100, of Greenville, died Monday, April 22, 2024, at Bayley Place in Cincinnati, Ohio. Born December 21, 1923, in Greenville to Virgie and Jack Mercer. After graduating from Graham High School in 1943, Inez and her sister, Marie, were sent by their parents to a Business School in Nashville. Inez came back with a degree in Bookkeeping and worked in Greenville for a coal company until her marriage in September 1944 to Navy Hospital Corpsman, Dan Daniel. Inez became a Navy wife and a stay-at-home mother to their three children until 1963 when she went back to work as a bookkeeper to help put her children through college.
Inez always stayed up-to-date on current local and national events and local and national politics. She built a very healthy financial portfolio. She was an avid fan of the Cincinnati Reds and UK basketball and football (especially since her great-grandson, Jackson Schulz, is a member of the current football team). She was a member of New Cypress Missionary Baptist Church in Greenville.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Jack and Virgie Mercer; her sisters, Marie Wells Vincent and Guyneath Richeson; her grandson, Christopher Daniel Schulz; and the father of her children, Charles F. “Dan” Daniel.
Inez is survived by her three children, Suzanne Daniel Brake of Georgetown, Frances Daniel Schulz of Ft. Wright, Ky., and Paul Franklin (Elaine) Daniel of Myrtle Beach, N.C.. All three children are retired educators. She is also survived by her brother, Forrest (Juanita) Mercer of Savannah, Ga., six grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.
Mom was such a MAJOR part of our lives . . . EVERYDAY. She is greatly loved and missed.
Graveside funeral services will be Monday, April 29, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. at New Cypress Cemetery in Greenville, with Bro. Allen Woodard officiating. Burial to follow. Tucker Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences may be made at www.tuckerfuneralhomes.com.
