Mary Lou loved her family and was always ready to entertain; there was room for extra plates at her table. For her, the more the merrier! She was an old-fashioned, stay-at-home mom, who led Cub Scouts, worked in the PTA, hung her laundry outside, scrubbed everything (and everyone) with Comet, and baked two pies and a cake for Sunday dinner. We love you, Mom. Thanks for all you did for us.
