After moving to Red Deer to raise their children, they became involved in a variety of local organizations and built a cottage at Sylvan Lake where they spent many happy summers. Mary Lou began working at Red Deer College in 1968 and eventually became Chairperson of the library. She was a founding member and past president of Central Alberta Theatre and produced, directed and acted in dozens of productions. In 1993 she received the Mayor's Recognition Award for continuous voluntary service. In retirement, Mary Lou continued to be involved with local theatre groups, and enjoyed travelling and doing her crosswords. A celebration of her life will be announced at a later date.
