The family of Terry Merrill nominates Jordan Simpson, RN with Elite Hospice in Bryant, for the care she gave their father, a former Marine and law enforcement officer, in his final five days. Terry's one wish was to die in his RV beside his wife, and Jordan's advocacy and presence made that possible. She met his stubborn humor with warmth, joining in his jokes even about death, and stayed with the family until his final breath. His family says Jordan honored not just his medical needs but who he was, and made his passing filled with dignity, love, and laughter.
