After graduating high school in 1970 she graduated from University of Michigan Flint, and earned her Master's degree from Oakland University in early childhood development. She taught elementary school for 39 years in Swartz Creek, Flint, and Hartland. She was described by coworkers as always cheerful, positive and supportive and a beacon of light for teachers, new and old. Mary Lou continued her love of teaching as a Drums Alive instructor for 10 years. She taught all of those around her the importance of faith, family, perseverance, strength, and kindness. She was an inspiration to all. Mary Lou enjoyed long walks on the beach and shell picking in the many beautiful places she traveled to with Fred. Time spent with family and friends was of highest value to Mary Lou. Her unwavering faith in God guided her throughout her life. Mary Lou's positive attitude and energetic spirit will be her true legacy.
