So sorry to all of you for this loss. She was a great-aunt to me, and though I didn't see her often, she and her family were always so sweet to me and my sister Terra. My dad (Steve Ingham) talked very fondly of her and the good memories of times with her and with his cousins. Praying for you all today, especially her children, as a parent's love is the one of closest examples we have of Christ's unconditional love for us. With much love, Missy (Ingham) Angel

Mary Lou was such a fun-loving lady. I remember her for many things. She always could make my mother, Theresa Becwar, laugh, as well as everyone else around her. She was a role model for her work ethics at Sears. I was blessed to know her when I was growing up. She leaves a legacy of fun times with her friends in Prairie du Chien. She will be missed by many people. Rest in peace, Mary Lou.
