I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mary Lou. Such an energetic woman with a zest for life. She often spoke of her family with such love. She will be missed. I got to know Mary Lou very well over the past decade. She was one of my favorite patients at Winchester Periodontics.

My deepest sympathy.... I always felt privileged to have Aunt Mary Lou as my godmother. She was an incredible woman, always so full of life and looking for (and finding) the good in people and circumstances. The extent of her love of God, country, and family was matched by only a few; She was a great example of what we are called to be. I hope she and Dad will enjoy a few rounds of golf on Heaven's course!
Love and peace, Kim Formwalt Mistovich

Mary Lou was loved & admired by all who knew her. I feel as though I know all the nieces & nephews because she talked about you all the time. She loved spending time with all her family. You are all so fortunate to have her as your sister & aunt.
We so enjoyed her at golf. Every spring she would entertain us with tales of her latest trip. She was really a fun person to be with & she will be missed by all of us.

Ah, this one tears a hole in my heart. In a family of superb people, it is very hard to single anyone out, but Auntie Lou was certainly up there. I remember her more than fondly over the years: she was always upbeat, full of life, never less than welcoming and loving. I always felt like she treated me like one of her own. And you know what? I'll bet there are hundreds more like me all over the place. Auntie Lou had a full and blessed life, and she will be missed by all. My love and sympathy goes out to Joanie and her entire family. Mac

Mary Lou was the first person to introduce herself to me as a new member at Indian Ridge Country Club several years ago. Her welcoming smile, delightful personality and sincere warmth will be truely missed at our club..
I only wish I had the opportunity to know her longer.

God Bless ya Mary Lou (aka Lou Lou to my little ones). We had a great weekend in Boston over Memorial Day Weekend and I so enjoyed the stories that you had with your sister Joanie! I only hope her memories are as fondest as yours. I have you to thank for the Make Way for Ducklings History in Boston. My oldest Emily told me that she is sure Lou Lou will share it with everyone in Heaven~I pray that's true! So Cheers to you and Red, White and Blue and although I can't be at Doherty's I'll be wearing it in honor of you!
We'll forever miss and love you!

Auntie Lou was and will always be a power of example to all of us on how to live life and share with others. I loved her sense of humor and that twinkle in her eye that let you know 'she knew'... God bless her and prayers for Joanie and all the family who will miss Auntie.

Maz Deluca wrote, "...she carried her bag"(last week at golf). To all of us who knew and loved her, that fact is no surprise. An outstanding Administrator in the Medford Schools but, more importantly, a tremendous person. May she rest in peace.

"Auntie Lou" to everyone, including Denise and me! She was the rock solid example of fidelity to faith, friends, country and, most importantly, family. Joanie, Christine and family, we are so lucky to have had the chance to know Auntie Lou for so many years. We are so sorry for your loss.

I have admired Mary Lou since she waas my fifth grade teacher at the Hancock School in Medford. We kids thought she looked just like Doris Day. What a special person! I remember going to her house to sell Girl Scout cookies. She bought from everyone in the class!!! Years and years later, I worked with her and her fellow Board members at Medford Savings Bank. She was still beautiful, still wonderful, and still "my idol." She really lived a fabulous life---I used to call her Auntie Mame! She was always off somewhere, either to visit with her family or to somewhere wildly exotic. I feel so lucky to have shared some time with this bright star. There is no one---no one---like her on earth! My sincere condolences------

Please accept are dearest condolences. Mary Lou, as our dad, Andrew Lentine, called her, was a dear friend of his and collegue at the Roberts Junior High. He always told us what a wonderful person and incredible professional she was. I know she will be missed greatly by her beloved family and by all those young people whose lives she touched.

I was so saddened to hear of Mary Lou's passing. I know I can say with certainty that everyone would have loved to have had her as their "Auntie". I will always remember her joie de vivre. Ever smiling, ever energetic and carrying her bag while most of us struggled to push ours. Heaven just got a new angel.

Mary Lou welcomed us to the neighborhood and taught us what being a real neighbor really means. We'll keep those lessons with us forever and will honor her memory by putting them into action in our own lives. We miss her so much. Our deepest sympathies go to her family and friends.

I did not know Mary very well but she was a fellow Catholic Daughter. She always told good stories and she made me laugh. She'll be missed at the table in the fall. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

One of the nicest ladies I ever had the pleasure of knowing. We played golf together last Friday and she could still hit a ball. I never saw MaryLou without the American flag pinned to her collar! I will miss her always optimistic attitude and seeing her walk down the fairway at Indian Ridge carrying her golf bag. She was one of kind. May you Rest in Peace, Marylou and if you can find your way to my daughter, Krit, please give her a hug and kiss for me.
Love, Pam (your "little chum")

Mary Lou was a treasure.. funny, loyal, optimistic, a true patriot and a priviledge to know on and off the golf course.

My deepest sympathies are with your family.
Mary Lou was an inspiration to me, with her patriotic sense and deep convictions. It was always a pleasure
to be around her and connect with her positive attitude
which she had for life and projected on the golfcourse.
I will always think about her and keep her close to
my heart.
