Mary Lou graduated from Niles McKinley High School in 1952. She began her career at Warren Telephone Co. in 1957.  She later returned to Warren Telephone Co. in 1961 and worked there until 1971. From 1976 until her "Special Retirement" in November 1990, she worked at United Telephone Systems of Ohio, where she met her husband, the love of her life. 

Mary Lou was a member of the United Methodist Church of Niles, where she worshipped. She found joy in entertaining her family and friends and loved traveling to Bradenton, Florida, with her husband, where they became official “Snow Birds”in their second home. ML enjoyed baking cookies for all family occasions, weddings and high school graduations.  She was known for always having cookies available to enjoy. 

While in Bradenton through the winter months, she enjoyed the sunny beaches of Sarasota, golfing, and dinners with friends. In her later years at Independent Living of Shepherd of the Valley, ML found pleasure in watching and feeding the birds, observing the deer on the property, and watching her favorite shows in the evening, including Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, and Cash Explosion, and visits and meals from her very dearest friend, Anna.  She was so proud of all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She always enjoyed visits when they came to town.
