Obituary
Send FlowersNot Just Any Kind of Love
Mary Lou Hague was a West Virginia girl who had come to New York three years ago and loved it. Or maybe it should be said that she loved it. Because, as her friend and onetime sorority sister Heather Fain remembers, when Ms. Hague, 26, loved something, she loved it big. She loved Michael Jackson, and spent $1,500 to see him the last weekend of her life. She loved 1980's music. She loved Twizzlers. "She had given them up for Lent, I guess two Easters ago, and we went to church, but she had a pound bag of Twizzlers in her bag to take out as soon as we got out," Ms. Fain said. "I took one, and took a bite and threw it away. She was, `What did you just do?' "
With her shoulder-length hair and Miss America smile, she got her share of attention. There was a little romance, on New Year's Eve 2000, with a scuba diving instructor at Club Med Martinique, but Ms. Hague, who lived near Gracie Mansion with a roommate, was thinking that she would like to meet a Southern guy, move back home to Parkersburg, W. Va., and have a dog. She worked as a financial analyst at Keefe Bruyette & Woods, on the 89th floor of the second tower to be hit. Her entire floor, according to Ms. Hague's mother, Liza Adams, was wiped out. Better to remember Ms. Hague doing what her friends called her happy dance, waving her arms in the air and, the minute she heard the music, hollering, "Woo-hooo!"
Guest Book
Mary Lou, another year has passed, yet your absence is still felt. Time may continue to move forward, but it can never take away the memories of your kindness, your laughter, and your wonderful smile. On this day, I pause to honor you and to reflect on the joy you brought to everyone fortunate enough to know you. Though life has changed in many ways, one thing has never changed - you are missed beyond words and remembered with love always.
If only...

Mary Lou,
I think of you often. Sometimes it is the mention of 9/11, sometimes it is New York or Wall Street, sometimes it is thinking of others I love that loved you so. And I am always filled with such loss. For you, your family, your friends, the world. And then I think of the warmth and joy you exuded. The laughs and champagne we shared in S & P's wedding procession limo and various adventures over the years. You are quite a bright soul, even now. And we miss you.

During my first visit to New York City in December 2023, my wife and I made a point to visit the 9/11 Memorial. On December 6th, as we quietly moved through the room honoring those who lost their lives that day, one face drew me in—Mary Lou’s.
There was something about her photo that stopped me. She reminded me so much of my wife—graceful, warm, beautiful, and full of life. It wasn’t just her beauty that struck me, but the kindness that seemed to radiate from her image. In that...

I never met Mary Lou, but the city of Parkersburg West Virginia where she graduated high school keeps her legacy of the beautiful life alive that was lost that September day in 2001. I will never forget the beautiful soul who once walked this earth and who tragedy lost her life that September morning, her face and smile will always stick with me. I send my condolences to her friends and family who are still enduring and mourning the loss of her 23 years later.

Mary Lou, the more time passes the faster it seems to go. Taking a minute on this day to pay my respect to your family and let you know that you are still so greatly missed. You were such an amazing light that was taken from us far too soon. Please know that you will never be forgotten; forever in our memories and in our hearts. If only...

I worked briefly with Mary Lou during a summer undergrad internship at KBW in 1998. By the end of the summer I was getting a bit homesick for N.C. and all things southern. Mary Lou was so kind and cheerful - she wore a sundress and a bow in her hair to work one day to bring a little UNC spirit into the office. She was such a positive cheerful person with a smile to brighten any day.
