SENECA FALLS - Mary Lou Flynn, 88, passed away into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Tuesday October 14, 2025 at Clifton Springs Hospital, Clifton Springs, N.Y.

Mary was born August 8, 1937 in Osceola, PA, the daughter of Seth A. and Ruth M. Johnson Swingle.

Mary was a member of the Waterloo United Methodist Church for many years and their women's prayer group, as well as a former member of the church choir.

Mary is survived by sons Stephen (Valerie) Flynn of Canandaigua, N.Y. and Mitchell (MaryJo) Flynn of Naples, N.Y.; her beloved grandchildren Jason Flynn, Brenden Flynn, Andrew Flynn and Kaleigh Flynn; and ten great-grandchildren.
