Mary Lou always had a ready smile and was ready for a good conversation with anyone. She loved children and dogs and devoted her life to teaching and helping others. She pursued knowledge and was always reading or learning something new. She did her daily crossword to keep her mind sharp and continued to volunteer at the Mercy Warehouse in Laguna Niguel up to her last days. She was a ball of energy, you would never guess she was 90. She was exercising when a brain aneurysm hit and passed peacefully within 24 hours. She is loved and will be missed by all who knew her.
