Mary Lou Taylor
Mary Lou Taylor, 80, Rockford, died at 10:05 a.m. March 10, 2015, at Van Wert In-Patient Hospice Center, Van Wert.
She was born in Union Township, Van Wert County, on May 4, 1934, to Doyle B. and Jennie J. (Mefferd) Stuckey.
Surviving are three children, Deborah K. (Rick) Temple, Rockford, Timothy J. (Ronda) Taylor, Lexington, Tenn., and Matthew A. (Sheri) Taylor, Van Wert; eight grandchildren, Aaron "Bubba" (Courtney) Temple, Troy (Jessica) Temple, Jason (Monica) Temple, Joel (Ashley) Temple, Alanna Taylor, Grant Taylor, Jayden Taylor and Brandt Taylor; six great-grandchildren, Kayla, McKenna, Gracyn, Emmery, Liberty and Lyric Temple; a great-great-grandson, Weston; and two sisters, Naomi (Jane) Mason, Convoy, and Delores (John) Myers, Van Wert.
Deceased are a grandson, Ryan Temple; a sister, Ruby McCoy; a brother; William B. Stucky; and two brothers-in-law, Robert McCoy and Richard Mason.
She graduated in 1952 from Union High School, Union Township. She was in the last class to graduate from there. She moved to Rockford in 1961 and worked in retail at J.C. Penney's in Van Wert and Celina, and was a secretary at Country Mark in Rockford. She retired from Stammen Insurance in Celina as a secretary.
Even with her busy schedule, she was very active in her church, Rockford United Methodist Church, where she sang in the choir and for many years directed the children's choir.
She enjoyed crafts and painting and was well-known for the hundreds of beautiful Old-World Santas she handpainted and their ornate clothing she handstitched. People would stand in line for the amazing figures.
She wrote and co-directed the Rockford Lions Club Variety Shows for 23 years and also was a member of the organization. She formed and organized the Rockford Christmas Walk for the Rockford Chamber of Commerce and was the Rockford Citizen of the Year in 1983.
Services are 10:30 a.m. Friday at Ketcham-Ripley Funeral Home, Rockford, Pastor Chip Steffy officiating. Burial will follow at Convoy Odd Fellows Cemetery, Convoy.
Friends may call 2-8 p.m. Thursday and 9:30-10:30 a.m. Friday at the funeral home.
Memorials may be directed to Van Wert In-Patient Hospice Center, Van Wert.
