Mary Lou enjoyed being able to raise her own three children; she made sure her work came second, often wearing many hats throughout their childhood to ensure she was home for them. She spent time as an EMT in emergency rooms in hospitals, worked in the old Saugus General Hospital as a medical secretary and enjoyed working at Sears. Mary Lou’s a multitalented, gentle and sensitive lady full of wisdom. “If a door closes, another one opens,” Mary Lou said.
