Mary Lou was born on October 5, 1935 in Dallas, Tx. She graduated from Wilmer-Hutchins High School. While attending school she completed 3 years of homemaking, was a drum majorette, played basketball, and was part of the band. She met the love of her life, John "Johnny" Bass, while in school and they married in May of 1953. Mary Lou and Johnny were always on the go, you could find them anywhere from Santa Domingo to Vegas to Jamaica. They have lived in many parts of Texas including Lubbock, Brownwood, Odessa, Fort Worth, Duncanville, Cedar Hill and Red Oak.
Mary Lou was a Jayceettes and a member of Eastern Star. She worked as a receptionist throughout the years and she worked for several years for Johnny at John Bass Homes doing various secretarial duties. But her favorite job of all was being a Wife, Mom and MawMaw.
She enjoyed playing Golf with Johnny, attending the horse races, working in her yard, and spending time with family. Mary Lou loved to sew and sewed many things for her daughter, Linda, while she was growing up. She would take her son, John Bick, crawdad fishing and would be his biggest fan at his baseball games. She was a collector of antiques. Mary Lou was always the first to welcome everyone to their home. She enjoyed talking and meeting new people, but she was always the life of the party! She really enjoyed spending the holidays with family, especially Thanksgiving and Easter. The family Easter Egg Hunts were always ones for the books.
She was loved by many and will be missed by all.
