Mary Lou enjoyed spending time with her family, friends, traveling, reading, visiting historic sites, shopping and following sports on TV. She shared so many great stories about her life throughout the years. We will cherish those stories, and her love and support will live on in our hearts. One fond memory is that she always made a point to sing Happy Birthday to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren on their special days.
