Mercidez was Born May 19, 2001 to Thomas Mosier Jr and Sherri Rose Trippo, and entered into the eternal dance place on August 4, 2021. Merc was a Hoopa Tribal Member, graduated from Hoopa Valley High School, Class of 2019. She loved glamming herself up real big beauty queen style for her TikTok videos – our very own fashionista. Always doing her hair, makeup and loved her nails. She loved painting, riding horses, cheerleading, playing sports, going to bingo with grandma Tina and Auntie Non-Dil, and most of all hanging out with her friends.

Merc was a dance girl at heart, in touch with her culture-making regalia and participating in ceremonies. She loved spending quality time together with her mother, binge-watching their favorite shows and taking road trips to go shopping and getting their hair and nails done. She loved watching her brother Tom play football, going fishing and hunting with her dad, as well as taking trips with her auntie Jessie and grandma Joann. Merc and her brother Tom were two peas in a pod growing up. The two of them did everything together, they had an inseparable sibling love. Merc had a heart of gold, her beauty shown inside and out, the love she had for everyone never went unnoticed.
