Mary Lou adored her family and they adored her back. She was a beautiful woman inside and out with many lifelong friends who will cherish the memories of so many good times together and her strength and grace. She will be missed by all who knew her but never forgotten.

A Celebration of Life is planned in the future. In lieu of flowers, contribution can be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
