She loved her family, and most of all loved Her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She was born on April 27, 1934, to Elwin Louis Chesnut and Mary Ellen Boswell in Britton, Oklahoma. She was raised by a single Mom, who worked hard all her life. Mary Lou was very close to her mother, and aunts and uncles, and especially close to her Grandpa, Albert Boswell whom she adored. Mary Lou was born with beautiful red curly hair, and the boys in school would tease her, and cal

her, "The red-headed woodpecker sitting in a Chestnut tree."

She was raised in Britton, Oklahoma, which is now the northwestern part of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She graduated from John Marshall High School in 1952. She He met the love of her

life, Charles, aka, Corky in Corpus Christi, Texas while both families were there fishing. Mary Lou was the fisherman. Charles never could keep up with all the fish she would catch. Mary Lou was

born and raised in Oklahoma where she loved watching and listening to OU Sooner Football while Charles on the other hand was raised in Texas, and guess what, He loved watching and

listening to Texas Longhorn Football. Ilt became a rivalry each year during the Texas and OU game. Mary Lou married Corky on December 19th, 1958 in Fort Worth, Texas.

She worked seventeen years for the Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD School Cafeterias- North Euless Elementary and Wilshire Elementary until she retired in 1986. She loved being around the children. She was the cashier, and she would always remember one little boy would come through the line and say, "Charge It".

Mary Lou and Charles were both an avid Texas Ranger Baseball fan. She also loved feeding and watching the birds and squirrels.

She was a member of Sheppard Drive Baptist Church in Euless, Texas for the past thirty years. She received Jesus Christ as her Savior at a young age. Her Grandpa Albert Boswell inspired her

throughout her adolescence.

She is also survived by a host of people who are very dear to the Pritchett family, the congregation of Sheppard Drive Baptist Church in Euless, Texas.
