A flower pedestal commemorates Merle Ann White.

Merle White was educated at the Beaconsfield School and later the Charles Street State School in Launceston. She undertook a commercial course at Miss Darcey's establishment and her first employment was with R. L. Mayhead, shipping agents, in Charles Street, in a secretarial capacity; she later worked at Mrs Woods' hairdressing salon.

In March 1939 she married Thomas Peter White of Launceston. They had a family of three children. All attended St. John's Church where Merle was very involved with the women's groups, particularly the Women's Guild.

She died on 22nd December 1982 and in her memory the members of the Guild donated a blackwood flower pedestal.
