Mary Louise Yager

My condolences to Jed and family. Mary sounds like a wonderful person and I love the fact that she threw her own 80th birthday party. She graduated from University of Portland and we'd love to include her in our magazine's obituary section. If possible we'd love to see photos or discuss her amazing life. ([email protected])

Mary Lou and I met in a registration line at the University of Portland in 1958. We became close friends over the next four years relishing good conversations, good books, beach trips, and great mutual friends. Then off she went to New York and then on to her beloved Australia. For over seven decades, we never let go of our bond--letters, pictures, meetings in Portland when possible. Distance and time never caused us to miss a beat. Yes, her spirit was "peaceful, warm and generous." Mary...

George and Tom, my deepest sympathy. I am sorry for your loss. May Mary Rest In Peace. Sincerely, Peter and Tilly

Dear Mary Lou it is with great sadness that we heard of Mary Lou's passing. Mary Lou lived next door to my husband's parents for decades and she is remembered with great and warm affection by our family. We enjoyed so many of her Catered Affairs over the years. Her gentility, kindness and generosity is her legacy as well as the loved ones she leaves behind. Vale Mary Lou and may she rest in peace.

I met Mary Lou in high school and we shared so many memories together. Our Immaculata Academy class was very close and still is with who we are able to keep in touch with. She was such a dear person and so intelligent. I've been praying for her soul and her grieving family.
