Mary Lou was a loyal employee at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Centralia. She worked in the Business office and earned the Ambassador of the year award. She was known for being the holiday angel in her home. From her great cooking to her decorations, memories were always made at Mamma Lou’s house. She was a devout Christian following in the faith that her parents instilled in her and she passed on to her sons. She was always a classy, and trendy dressed lady that enjoyed shopping. Mary Lou had a green thumb and had beautiful plants that she enjoyed sharing with her loved ones. Mary Lou’s crowning achievement was being a grandma and great-grandma as she loved her grandchildren with all her heart. Nothing made her smile wider than hearing her grandchildren call out Grandma Lou. Her love and generosity will carry on in all the ones she knew and loved.
