She then moved to Denver and worked at Security Pacific Mortgage Corporation for over 20 years.

Merna was a member of the Czech Heritage Society, ZCBJ and the Sertoma Club.
Merna will be remembered for her enjoyment of cooking, collecting cookbooks, reading, traveling within the US, playing cards, Bunko with her Sioux Falls friends and her late night trips to the casino. Merna was also a huge Denver Broncos fan. She loved following her great nieces and nephews in their activities and ballgames. Merna was also very strong supporter of anyone she knew who was battling or had battled breast cancer.
