    My sympathies to Kenny and family. Mary was a sweet dear little lady. Enjoyed our times at St

    My thoughts are with Kenny, Mary Louise’s children, and the at large Obert and Wellman families during this time of final goodbyes.I fondly remember Mary Louise during my younger years and when all of our families crossed at some family event. My sister, Mary Lou Mock Wellman, always enjoyed Mary Louise as her sister-in-law. Cherish the fond memories of Mary Louise in whatever capacity you knew her for she will forever be in our hearts and memories.
