Dr. Richard Sterling Mehring, D.D.S., age 91, of Keymar, Maryland, died on August 13, 2010 at his home from an apparent heart attack.
Born March 20, 1919 in Taneytown, Maryland, he was the son of the late Harold Seiss and Ethel (Hively) Mehring. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Marell (Armacost) Mehring.
Dr. Mehring received his BS from Western Maryland College, and his DDS from the University of Maryland Dental School in Baltimore. His BS degree was not granted by Western Maryland College until the 1980’s because WWII necessitated that Doctors and Dentists be rushed through college in 3 years and straight to Medical school without graduating. He was a veteran of the U.S.
Surviving in addition to his wife are children, R. Sterling Mehring and wife Constance of Silver Spring, MD, Marion Meskill and husband Bob Fulton of Germantown, MD, and Lauren Meskill of Woodsboro, MD; sisters, Idona Teeter of S.C., formerly of Gettysburg, PA, and Wanda Mann of CO. Also surviving are 5 grandchildren, and numerous loved nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by a son, Philip Andrew Mehring.
