Mary Oldiges Obituary
She was born in Egypt, Ohio on May 28, 1937 to the late Clemens and Ida Bruns Poeppelman. Mary Lou graduated from Minster High School in 1955. She retired from Fifth Third Bank where she worked as a Teller.

She was a model of positivity and fitness. She participated in many 5K marathons; earning multiple top place finishes. Mary Lou enjoyed baking cookies – you could count on getting a fresh baked cookie whenever you went to her house. She also enjoyed shopping, working crossword puzzles, working in her yard, and beach vacations. She was a longtime member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church.
