Mary Lou cherished quiet moments at home watching television, cheering on the Chicago Bears, and rooting for the St. Louis Cardinals. She was a fan of Brooks & Dunn and would love dancing with her family to the music. Most of all, she enjoyed the time spent with her family and their activities together.

As it was her wish cremation rites have been accorded. Her family will have a private memorial gathering at a later date.
