To the family of Mary Lou
I met Mary Lou at various CSEA functions and I liked and admired her so much. She was a great union activist and I could tell a real fun person to be around. I always admired and envied her ability to sign-up new Victory Club members for CSEA. I wanted to win the prize for my chapter like she consistently did for her chapter. I was so shocked to hear of her passing as she seemed so healthy when I last saw her at a conference on February 28th. Please accept my...

My condolances from my family to the family of Mary Lou. I am a very close friend of her neice Amanda Crandall and met Mary Lou at a family gathering about 3 years ago. Hang in there and remember that allthough she may be gone she will never be forgotten.

May the wings of the angels that carried you gently home to your father in heaven always fly just swiftly enough near us to keep your warm and loving spirit amongst us. Until we meet again; thanks for the memories. God's blessings to your family. In His love, Linda

Lord where do I begin, I don't remember a time in my life without Mary Lou. There are so many fond memories, But I think the most fondest was all the weekends @ Clearlake. She was a true Mother hen, Keeping me covered with sunblock so I would not burn or putting burn cream on me after a bad burn because Fred towed me out to the lake in my inner tube (asleep) as a joke and I got so burned I could not move, Or helping me and Debbie fix up (our) room under the cabin by making Fred get rid of the...

Aunt MaryLou in my opinion has always been one of the strongest people I have ever known. I will always remember her as our 'family coordinator'. She had a lot of great advice to give and plenty of past time stories to share with everyone. She was always there to assist in any way she could. She is missed profusely. My prayers are with Shelley, Amy, and the grandkids.

I became a member of Mary Lou's family when I married Jon Crandell 10 years ago. She welcomed me to the family with open arms and an open heart, but boy, did she let me know what would happen should I ever do anything to hurt Jon. :) Mary Lou is the definition of family, and she will be dearly missed. I wish that I had more time with Mary Lou to learn from her, to be inspired by her, to be held accountable by her and to love her...but I cherish the years that I did have with her.

MaryLou,
Our matriarch(spelling?). My greatest personal memory of her is how welcome she made me feel when I first was invited to their house for Christmas with my friend Kelley. That was a very special Christmas to me and a start of many more special memories with that family. Wil never forget and learned from her "taking charge" at all of the reunions and the shopping "in bulk" at the store at midnioght the night before. Well, you get the picture. She sure will be missed by alot.
