She never met a stranger and was an avid ambassador for San Antonio. Mary Lou has attended San Fernando Cathedral for many years serving as greeter, Eucharistic Minister and dedicated Guadalupana. Members and visitors were enthusiastically welcomed by Mary Lou to the 10:00 Mass at San Fernando.

Mary Lou served over 25 years as a docent at the Institute of Texan Cultures and as an usher at the Majestic Theater. In addition, Mary Lou loved Fiesta and ran the Fiesta Medal booth at the King William Fair year after year. Her proudest achievement by far was raising the “love of her life”, her nephew, Larry.
