Survivors include her husband, Norman Poehlein; son, Von Poehlein; brother, John (Regina) Parker; two grandchildren; and 2 great-grandchildren.
In addition to her parents, Mary Lou was preceded in death by her sons, Van and Vic Poehlein; and siblings, Wib Parker Jr., Gary Parker, Bill Parker, Bobby Parker, Norma Hunt, and Ronald Parker.
