Dear Harold , Melissa and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Marlou was always so loving , kind and fun. She was very beautiful and always seemed to be smiling!
I loved getting to come to your house for dinner. Marlou always had the table set so beautifully. I can remember how we loved her califlower and cheese sauce. She loved to laugh and joke. I loved the trips we took to the wine country. I loved the times she and Harold would come to our home for dinner too!
Marlou was loving and generous person ! She will be missed by all who knew her.
Sending you a big hug and lots of love,
Merrily Kay

Such saddening news to hear such a spunky,heartwarming person has left us. I worked with Marlou at Delta Nat'l Bank for many years. I will always remember the "Electric Reindeer" wine; the great stories of Melissa, Jeff and the grandkids; working at the Harvest Luncheon, and getting her rubber boots out of the car to make a call out to a dairy. She was so supportive to my family on the outside, and will truely miss her Christmas cards every year. Prayers to her family!

I worked with Marlou at Delta National Bank, and we remained friends for several years after she left the Bank. I always enjoyed time spent with Marlou and admired her professionalism and dedication to her customers.

My thoughts go out to her family and may you treasure your memories. She loved talking about her children and grandchildren.

I worked with Marlou at Delta Bank and just wanted to extend my thoughts and prayers to her family. One thing I will remember about Marlou was she was always impeccibly dressed and always looked so professional. She was well thought of by her co-workers.
