Mary Lou enjoyed bowling at her parent’s bowling alley – Bowler’s Inn. She recorded many 600 games and won many tournaments. She enjoyed baking and decorating cakes for all occasions. Her “champion” rosettes were always a hit at Christmas.

Her love for her dog Molly never went unnoticed.

Mary Lou was a member of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Camdenton, MO. Her faith in God was very important to her.
