Mary Lou lived in Canton, NC most of her life and was a member of Springhill Baptist Church where she sang in the choir. She worked as a dental assistant for over 30 years. After moving to Cleveland in 2006 she enjoyed reading, traveling, dancing and spending time with her Ocoee Trace neighbors, Angie Clayton and Nancy Guinn. She especially loved to decorate at Christmas displaying over 100 Santa figurines along with a tree of only white ornaments. The Brookdale Memory Care and Hearth Hospice staffs were exceptional in taking care of her. A special thank you to Deb, Cassandra, Rachel, and Christy.
A graveside service for the family will be held at Springhill Baptist Church later to be determined.
In lieu of flowers, the family ask that any donations be made to Springhill Baptist Church, 1918 Murray Road, Canton, NC 28716 or Alzheimer’s foundation of your choice.
