Merry J. Korth

Merry J. Korth, age 70 of the Town of Matteson, Waupaca County passed away Saturday, August 8, 2026 at The Pines in Embarrass.
Merry was born with her twin brother Mike on December 29, 1955 in Clintonville. She graduated with the Clintonville High School Class of 1974 and began working as a CNA at Pine Manor Health Care Center now known as The Pines. Merry was united in marriage to Karson Korth on September 2, 1977 at the St. Martin Lutheran Church in Clintonville where she was a current member. Merry worked for a number of places throughout her life including Tiny Truckers, Wait Auto Sales, and at the Affinity Clinic in both New London and Clintonville. Her greatest joy was family and she was born to be a mom. In fact, she loved babies so much she was affectionately referred to as a “baby hog” because she always had to be the one holding a new baby. She really enjoyed doing things around her home; especially taking care of her flower gardens. Merry was often found working on cross stitch, crocheting, reading, or just hanging out with her family. She found peace in the outdoors and spent many hours fishing or just watching the river pass by in her backyard. Merry bravely battled Alzheimer’s Disease the past number of years and through it all she kept a positive attitude and was a great example for her family.
Survivors include: her husband: Karson Korth.
Daughter: Kelly (Matt Gray) Korth.
Son: Danny Korth.
Mother: Carla Behnke.
Grandchildren: Isaac and Ivy Gray and Logan and Hudson Korth.

Also numerous nieces and nephews.
Merry was greeted in Heaven by her father Roy Behnke, Aunty Mary Fischer, and nephew and Godchild Adam Martin.
A gathering of family and friends will be held on Saturday, August 22, 2026 from 12pm until 2pm at the Eberhardt-Stevenson Funeral Home & Crematory North Location, 53 N. Main Street, Clintonville.
