Mary Lou loved a joke and always spoke fondly of her customers at the bank. She and I rode the bus together from high school as we lived out Jacksonwald way. She explained things about Catholicism to me as our senior year I was dating a Catholic fellow, and my father was the minister then at Schwarzwald UCC. So we talked seriously as well about many things. It was always a joy to see her on my August visits to PA as well as at the class of ’58 reunions and the special time several of us...

Jay and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. I will pray for the strength needed for you and your family during this difficult time.

Mary Lou was a faithful member of our card club for many years. We never failed to have a, "make you cry," laugh while in her company.Card club will never be the same.

I met Mary Lou way back in 1985 when I worked for American Bank and Trust. I always loved her awesome sense of humor, her style, and her straight forward way of talking. I could always count on Mary Lou to tell me what she thought, and I appreciated that more than she probably knew. Even though I only saw her a few times a year since she retire, I will miss her very much. Beth, Jay, Rob and the rest of her family are in my thoughts and prayers.
