Carol’s sister, Mary Lou Hammond-McKeen died in her sleep last Saturday night, most
likely from dehydration after working in the yard with her dear longtime
friend, Mack Bailey. Both came in hot and tired from planting lilies. Mack
returned to his home and after seven he called Mary Lou. She said she was very
tired and was going to bed. She did not return various calls on Sunday and on
Monday night Gayle, her sister, went to the house with the Westerville police.
After gaining entrance the police found Mary Lou in bed. Mary Lou’s daughter, Sharon, with her children and friend Gil, arrived this afternoon from her home
in Henderson, Nevada. Arrangements have not been fully decided. May Mary Lou,
dear sister to Carol, Gayle and Linda rest in peace. – Amorella and Richard

hours. Mary Lou was quite social and outgoing. She had graduated from Fort Hunt
High School, near Alexandria, Virginia, graduated from Otterbein College and
from the Ohio State University with a Masters in Education. She did most of her
fifth grade elementary school teaching in Westerville City Schools and retired
several years ago. In retirement she volunteered a lot of time as a teacher at the historical Hanby House in Westerville and also at the Ohio Historical Society in Columbus. She had many costumes representing Ohio history which she would wear for educational and demonstration purposes. And, instead of flowers, she requested donations to the Westerville and Ohio Historical Societies. She was a good person who, among other things, told you outright
what she thought. Mary Lou will be very much missed by those who knew and loved
her.
Amen. - Amorella
