Mary Louise Miller

My earliest memory of Cousin Mary Lou was in about 1941 when I was 5 years old. I recall her visiting our farm near Elbert, CO, where she rode Queen, the horse I later learned to ride upon. My last visit with her was in about 1987, or thereabout, when she and Glenn came to Goessel, KS in their motorhome and stayed a night or two with Janet and me. In between our paths were divergent and crossed seldom, one

My last visit with her was in about 1987, or thereabout, when she and Glenn came to Goessel, KS in their motorhome and stayed a night or two with Janet and me. In between our paths were divergent and crossed seldom, one time in her home in California in 1956, and another in Topeke in the '70s, and always with good memories. She was a good Cousin, the daughter of my good Aunt Wilma Cockrum. I treasure the memories, few as they were. God Bless.

Ah, Mary Lou. Out fun-loving cousin. She always lived on the edge, whatever that edge mignt be. My first recolection was from Topeka when I was five years old. Mary Lou and Virginia were best friends, and they haad a "secret hiding place in Grandma's backyard. Iwas not allowed in. Warren was. That really bent my nose. Always on the lookout for adventure, on the Elbert farm she took all we girl cousins on a trek to the tiny town

Always on the lookout for adventure, on the Elbert farm she took all we girl cousins on a trek to the tiny town of Elbert, walking the tree miles, for ice cream cones. Problem, she did not tell anyone what we were up to and frantic adults came looking for us, (along with the county sheriff!) But the ice cream was a real treat. The last time I saw Mary Lou was when I lived in Torrance, CA and she and Glen came to see me overnight. She spoke of the good times with Aunt Wilma in the Silverlake district of LA in the '50's. Goodby, Mary Lou, and many loving memories. Go with God. Vivian

Dear Cynthia, We were saddened to hear about your Mom's passing and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please let us know when the Memorial will be. Joan and Tony

My sister and I were two years younger than Mary Lou, but we wanted to do everything she did. When we lived in Kansas City, Kansas, at a very early age, we were interested in boys, because Mary was. She had a couple of friends who lived in Topeka who had a car (and gas! during WWII). My twin sister, Mary and I thought going to the local Malt Cup would be the greatest. And it was! However, at the

My sister and I were two years younger than Mary Lou, but we wanted to do everything she did. When we lived in Kansas City, Kansas, at a very early age, we were interested in boys, because Mary was. She had a couple of friends who lived in Topeka who had a car (and gas! during WWII). My twin sister, Mary and I thought going to the local Malt Cup would be the greatest. And it was! However, at the last minute, Mary Lou changed her mind. She didn't want to go. Sister Mary and I went, anyway, at age 12 with 16-year-old boys. Hmmm. Repercussions came from our parents, but those boys continued to write to both Mary and I for a few years, until we seriously found someone. One was drafted, the other, was 4f. Both could have been Mary Lou's boyfriends, but she had many to pick from. Dale was the winner in 1943.
