My Deepest Sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Mary Lou. Our community has lost a great person who truly cared for the youth, the town and gave her heart and soul to help better all in a quiet way. She was the person who always shared a smile and kind word. I am sure she has a special spot in heaven and the angels have welcomed her into their fold.
Rest in peace, Mary Lou and special thanks for your generous love and caring.
Hold close all the special memories and look to the sky for that bright shining star.
Prayers to you all.

My condolences to the family. Mary Lou was always very kind to me, her smile was catchy, and her concern for others was ingrained. While I will miss seeing her around town, her memory will live on in all the people and events she touched.

They say it takes a village. Many of us teens from the 80's were truly blessed to have Mary Lou in our lives. A true Earth Angel! God Bless her family and friends at this time. Her kindness remains dear to my heart!

Marylou was the personification of Westerly. She loved it, loved working for it, gave her all at whatever she did. I can't think of a nicer, more caring, gentler person than Marylou. I still can't believe that she is no longer with us. We will all miss her dearly.
