Mary Lou Petty

Mary Lou was a devoted wife, loving mother, and homemaker who treasured her family above all else. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life, especially reading and expressing her creativity through art and painting. She was a woman who appreciated the beauty around her and enjoyed bringing that beauty to life through her artwork.

Her greatest legacy is the family she loved and the memories she leaves behind. She will be remembered for her love, the time she shared with those closest to her, and the special place she held in the hearts of her family.

Mary Lou is survived by her children: Linda (James) Rotramel, Trent (Diane) Petty, Keith (Christy) Petty, and Barbara Myers.

She also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren: Blaine (Melissa) Rotramel, Jamie (James) Zavodny, Candice (Zach) Crosson, Lee (Meg) Petty, Colleen (Gabriel) Barela, Brian (Ashton) Petty, Cody (Jenna) Petty, Evan Petty, Chelsea (Will) Been, and Chad (Katy) Petty; 27 great-grandchildren; and her sister, June Burk.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gerald Petty; her parents, Neal and Jo Billings; and her siblings, Violet Cloud and Sonny Neal Billings.

Mary Lou's love for her family, and the memories she created throughout her life will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
