Mary Lou was a joy to everyone she new. Always smiling with something nice to say. She never complained and knew how to live life to the fullest. More than anything, she enjoyed playing cards with friends and family. Mary Lou will be greatly missed! She had a strong personal relationship with the Lord. Two of her favorite hymns are “Just A Closer Walk With Thee” and “I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked”. What a great Lady, Mom and Granny!
A memorial service will be held this Friday, June 24, 2016 at Camellia at Deerwood for close friends and family.
