Connie in June 2011 at her granddaughter Karen's baby shower
The Mercantile family would like to thank our family, friends and customers for all your loving support and understanding as we have dealt with Connie’s illness over the past days, weeks and months.

Connie Earl - Wife, Mom, Sister, Aunt, Grandmother, Friend, Proprietor, Fighter, Survivor, and Loving Soul - lost her battle with cancer on Tuesday, July 12. The Mercantile was her dream and vision, a vision that has grown into reality over the past 23 years, and a store that has grown from a business to a welcoming place where customers became friends, and friends became like family.

The store and her vision will continue, and her vision and spirit have shaped much of what we do, but she will be greatly missed.

Visitation will take place at Duckett-Robinson Funeral Home in Central, SC on Thursday, July 14 from 6-8PM with a vigil service beginning at 6:15 PM.
The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, July 15 at 10:30 AM at Saint Andrews Catholic Church in Clemson.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in her memory may be made to the
