William Wilfred Mercier

Date of Death: January 11, 2025

Date of Birth: February 21, 1941

Biography:

William "Bill" Wilfred Mercier, 84, formally of Hallowell, entered the gates of Heaven peacefully with his daughter by his side on January 11, 2025.

He was born on February 21, 1941 in Webster, N.H. to parents Wilfred Mercier and Emma (Matthewson) Mercier.

Bill is forever cherished and survived by his only child, Megan L. Mercier and her husband Brian J. Crush of Manchester.

Bill made quite an impact in the City of Hallowell when he and his partner opened 'The Boston Crop' in 1979.  Prior to opening their salon, he had been living in Boston but missed Megan terribly.  As a result, he and Dan decided to move to Hallowell to be closer to her.   After selling 'The Boston Crop', Bill continued his career in the beauty industry, eventually opening two additional salons over the years in Maine and New Hampshire.  In his retirement, Bill enjoyed substitute teaching in the Kennebec Valley area and in Florida.

At Bill's request, a private gathering in his memory will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, Megan warmly requests that memorial donations be made "in memory of Bill Mercier" to P.A.L.S. No-kill Shelter in Winthrop or on their Facebook page.
