I met Mary Louise and her family when I moved to Portland in 1963. Her sons were both friends, and, over the years my family and I enjoyed numerous meals, much laughter and enduring friendship with the entire Smith clan. They each have a special place in my memories.

I am one of Mary Louise's distant Sherlock cousins (on my father's side). Not only was she MY cousin, for many years she was, coincidentally, a neighbor and good fried of my Aunt on my MOTHER's side of the family.
I didn't know her well, but enough to know that she was a very nice person.
Whoever wrote the obituary did credit to the job.
