Mary Lou was born in Worcester, Ma, daughter of Thomas and Laura L. (Beauchemin) George and graduated from Commerce High School in Worcester. She worked as a switchboard operator for Ma Bell prior to the divestiture and then continued her career with AT&T. She also worked at Fairlawn Rehab and Hanover Insurance on their switchboards.
Her greatest joy was spending time with her family. Vacations were not complete without Mary Lou and with Mary Lou every trip was an adventure. She was extremely generous, sharing everything she had with her nieces and nephews including her love of movies, music and the use of her car. She was the family’s support in difficult times and the fun when times were good. She was the maker of potato salad and no party was complete without it.
A funeral mass will be held at St. Paul’s Cathedral, at 10 AM on Saturday, July 26 followed by a graveside service at Notre Dame Cemetery, Worcester. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society or American Diabetes Association.
