Mary Lou was a 1952 graduate of Sheridan High School. She was a homemaker on the family farm for over 50 years. Mary Lou was a respecter of all persons and a cherished wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, mamaw, neighbor and friend to so many she held dear. Mary Lou never knew a stranger and loved keeping connected through visits, telephone calls, and her iPad. She participated in the warm and loving congregation of Radiant Life Christian Church in Westfield.
