Mary Lou went Home to be with her Saviour on September 10, 2024 at the age of 89 years. She leaves behind a sister, a son and a daughter. She was predeceased by her husband and parents.

Mary Lou was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia and worked as a lab technician until her marriage to Lloyd. They raised their children in Sydney, NS.  Both trusted Jesus as their personal Saviour early in their marriage and were active in Gideons and in their church (Faith Baptist Church in Sydney).  Mary Lou taught Sunday School, sang in the choir and attended Ladies’ Bible study. She also had a great love for gardening and had beautiful gardens.

Mary Lou (and Lloyd) moved to Camrose in 2014. They soon joined Century Meadows Baptist Church.  Through these more recent years, Mary Lou has had health concerns that necessitated her move to Seasons. Many thanks to those staff who cared for and looked after her so well.  She had many friends among the staff and residents.

Mary Lou would want everyone to know her Saviour, Jesus Christ, and accept God’s free gift of salvation. She loved reading her Bible and singing the many hymns about Him.
