In the early 2000’s she moved to Mountain Iron and transitioned to Edgewood Vista in Virginia. Mary Lou served on the Hill City City Council, served as Mayor, and was the City Clerk for 15 years.

Mary Lou’s family would like to thank Edgewood Vista, with special thanks to Lisa in Activities, Hannah, Amber, Greta, and Jesse, who cared for Mary Lou when her family could not be with her due to the pandemic and were with Mary Lou at the end when her family could not be at her side.
