Mary Lou will always be remembered as a loving, sweet woman. She had so much class. She always took care of her family the way a great mom should. As a close friend over the years I have many fond memories of her. She would invite me to eat over on mac and cheese night. I followed her around the kitchen until she did! It was the best! I was lucky to know such a wonderful woman. My condolences to the whole family. Love, Sue Zeender

Glenn, Lol Lee, and Stewie: Your mom was one of the kindest adults on the planet. She was always pleasant. Even when she was scolding us. Her frequent quote, .Boys will be boys., will always be with me. The last time I saw her was last summer at Stop & Shop. I was wearing sun glasses standing in the main isle talking to my cousin, when I get pushed into some cereal boxes by your mom asking me . Who are you hiding from? I know it’s you behind those dark glasses.!!!! We had a good laugh. She was really cool.
Mary Lou was one of the 3 .mom icons. of our old neighborhood on Skiff Street where we all grew up. In recent years she called us the .Skiff Street Gang.. I have many, many fond memories of growing up and Mary Lou is part of many of them. She was also one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Always smiling, always very kind and always very sweet. My condolences go out to Glenn, Stewey and Lol with whom I also have many fond memories. Mary Lou, You were one of the good ones and you left way too soon.You will be missed by all of us. Al
