Mary Lou will be remembered for her strong faith, encouraging words and smile that lit up her face. She loved her family very much! That same love she shared with the children at Kid's Bible Club at Bible Truth Chapel and One Way Club at Highland Community Church. She was an active member of Bible Truth Chapel and also shared her faith through encouraging letters to inmates in a Jail Ministry program.
