Mary Louise (Marylou) Kasowski Spencer passed away peacefully at home on July 30, 2025 days after her 88th Birthday and her 59th Wedding Anniversary. She was a loving and giving Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister and Aunt.
Marylou was born in Marlin, TX, the daughter of Stash and Flora (Wisnewski) Kasowski. The family soon moved to Houston where she would remain with homes in The Houston Heights, Spring Branch, Jersey Village and Spring.
She was a 1955 graduate of Incarnate Word Academy where she made lifelong friendships and developed her strong Catholic faith.
Marylou enjoyed traveling and together with her husband David they visited Hawaii (twice), Germany, Tahiti, Maine, and Colorado (her favorite destination), along with other locations and numerous cruises.
Marylou spent over 20 years working for U.S. Customs. Afterwards she spent years working with her husband at the Robbins-Dean Co. and Castle Homes. She later worked with her son at The Harvey Co. before her much-deserved retirement.
