Mary Lou Law

Sat., May 7, 2011, at her home in Sherburne Four Corners.

Born in Sherburne in June of 1935, Mary Lou was the daughter of Jay and Maida Clark

Coleman. She grew up in the Sherburne area and had always mentioned to her family that she

enjoyed a very happy childhood. She was a 1953 graduate of the Sherburne High School.

Mary Lou has made her home on the family farm since her marriage and, over the years,

was involved in all aspects of the farm’s operation. A very gifted and talented writer, she found

great contentment, joy, and solitude in writing countless journals, poems, and thoughts of her life

and was a member of a local writer’s group. Mary Lou enjoyed many trips to the Oneida area to

enjoy one of her favorite pastimes. Above all else, she loved the times spent with her family,

especially her grandchildren.

On June 8, 1957, in the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany in Sherburne, Mary Lou married

Wayne E. Law. She is survived by her children: JoAnn Krug and husband Ken of Rome,

Tammy Streichert and husband Neal of LaFayette, and Kip Law and wife Stacey of Sherburne

Four Corners; her grandchildren: Natalie and Brandon Schmitt, Jacob Streichert, Joshua

Streichert and wife Dawn, Katelyn Streichert and Sierra, Wayne and Emma Law. Several nieces

and nephews also survive.

Mary Lou was predeceased by her husband on April 15, 1984; and by her brothers, John,

Roger, and Don Coleman.
