I knew Mary Lou from Church. What Church? Several here in Wichita-all Catholic. Most recently I knew her at Blessed Sacrament, along with Gene, her special husband. I recall Mary Lou with a picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on a Holy Card with a curious red aura about it. I asked Mary Lou about it. She replied it came from her kissing the image of The Sacred Heart with her red lipstick on her lips.
Rest In Peace beautiful Aunt MaryLou. You will forever be in our hearts and loving memories. You were always a 2nd mama to our family. We are so blessed to have had you in our life. Much love to all of you. Lisa Duncan
Aunt Mary Lou was always the sweetest lady. Always ready with a quick honest loving smile. Such a funny lady too! We will miss you sweet Aunt!!
I remember how her and Grandpa would tell me about the farm and how they would live very civil with out electricity and she can still remember them rolling out the electricity onto the farm when she was 5. Showing her true age lol.
I adored Mrs schutz. I admired her calm and spiritual nature. Suzy and family I was saddened to hear of your loss. May you find peace in knowing heaven is a better place with her in it. love to you all- Angie ebben rigsby
