I worked with Mary Lou at a aviation company. She was a Angel to work with. I kept in contact over the phone. We spoke a couple months ago. Now she is in Heaven. God Bless, Jim Millsap
I met MaryLou when I was her usher for the Tulsa Drillers. She had season tickets for years at the previous ballpark at the Fairgrounds, but this was at the beginning of ONEOK Field’s second season. She loved baseball and telling stories about her life, family, occupations, and knowing Mickey Mantle “before he was Mickey Mantle” (and becoming famous. She knew him when they were children). She always had a smile, a laugh and loved being around baseball, family and friends, both new and longtime friends. It was an honor to check up on her on the rare times she came to a game alone, but she knew she was safe amongst her baseball family. I will forever remember her lsugh, her walk up the stairs after the game (she was much quicker after her hip surgery—I had to hurry to keep up with her!), her kind words and her joy for life. She is already missed, but will never be forgotten. Her and her family welcomed me into their lives as friends and we will always remain friends, no matter where we are.
Enjoyed Mary Lou at the Driller's games for many years. Such a fun person. A loyal fan and friend. Pastor Mike Hamilton
Mary Lou always made work fun. She would greet you when you came into her office with her sense of humor and laugh with you after a little banter. She shared that office with her granddaughter Mary who eventually took over Mary Lou's responsibilities when Mary Lou retired. Although fun-loving, you had better have your paperwork turned in by 9 A.M. sharp (best before 9 A.M.), or you heard about it! Lol. Mary Lou will be missed, but knowing she is in Heaven, causes me a sigh of relief. Please take time to examine yourself and make Jesus the Lord of your life accepting him into your heart! Praying for Mary Lou's family and friends.
