Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Gilbert Merriel Scholl, 82, of Waxhaw NC, passed away on Monday, November 18, 2019 at Presbyterian Hospital in Matthews.
He was born on November 7, 1937 in Mickelton, NJ to the late Edward Paxson Scholl and Anna Leola Merriel Scholl.
Gilbert worked as a Machinist/Tool and Die maker throughout most of his working years and more recently for Car Quest until he retired. He was a family man who primarily enjoyed spending time with his wife, kids and many grandchildren and great grandchildren. He loved to fish, travel, laugh, cook and of course eat; Ice Cream being his favorite meal. A man of few words, he had a trusting and generous spirit and sought to exemplify Christ in all his endeavors.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his brother, Irving Scholl and sisters, Naomi Rowand and Adele Bertram.
Gilbert is survived by his wife of 60 years, Ethelyn Grace Scholl of Waxhaw; children Clifford Scholl, Carolyn Werner and Sharilyn Craddock.
A private Celebration of Life for family and friends will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers a Go-Fund-Me “Gilbert Scholl Memorial Fund” https://www.gofundme.com/f/gilbert-scholl-memorial-fund , has been established for Ethelyn Scholl to assist during this transition.

I am so sorry to read of Gilbert’s passing. We went through school together here in Harrison Township, NJ (Mullica Hill) He was graduated from Glassboro High School in 1957. He was a gentle quiet man who loved the Lord. I was just going through the computer looking up former classmates when I came across this. My heart and prayers go out to each of you.
By the way, I still live in Mullica Hill
