Mary Lou was a longtime member of our Club. She always had a beautiful smile and a hug when she saw you. She made each of us feel that we were her very best long time friend. It was a gift she gave us every time we met. God bless you, Mary Lou!

I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. I remember her when she would com in and serve lunches at St. Christoper grade school, and her son Lenny and I made our first communion together. I lost touch with her till I joined St. John the Baptist church, and the many many years working the Columbus Italian Festival. She always had a beautiful smile and hugs for friends. She, and her family will always be in my thoughts and prayers. R. I. P. my friend

Mary Lou and Lennie were married on the same day as my parents (Monica and Carlo Ventresca) - October 14, 1950 - at St. Peter's Church. Mary Lou and my mother shared many wonderful memories of that day and were always so glad to see each other. I will always remember Mary Lou for her graciousness and smiles for all. May she rest in peace.
