elevated Eknaj Mom loved “Angels Calling” by the The Tenors. On December 23, 2023, the angels opened heaven’s gates and welcomed Mary Louise Neundorf (nee Sherwin) home to be with her mother and father, May Rose and Bernard, siblings Christopher, Anne and Diane and husband, William. She is survived by brother Joseph, sisters Theresa (Larry), Frances, and Nancy (Bryan), brothers-in-law, Aduino and Gary, and many nieces and nephews.

elevated Eknaj Mom raised 6 beautiful children with love: Janice, Michael (Sharon), Jim (Dara), Pam (Stacy), Dan (Jennifer) and Sandra (Steve); welcomed 9 exceptional grandchildren with warmth – Braden, Christine, Jordan, Taylor, Sarah, Preston, Andrew, Scott, and Alysa; and embraced 9 remarkable great-grandchildren with affection – Darren, Elizabeth, Alexander, Genevieve, Millicent, Berric,  Benjamin, Beau and Kellar.

elevated Eknaj Mary Lou took great pride in her work. Her role as sales representative for Parents magazine allowed her to help young families navigate the many challenges of daily living. While working as a PSW, Mary Lou grew quite fond of her “ladies”, as she affectionately called them, and helped them maintain their independence at home for as long as possible. Many families expressed appreciation for the care that Mary Lou showed their loved ones, as she often went above and beyond the call of duty.

elevated Eknaj Mom taught us to walk in Jesus’s footsteps. She reminded us often to be a good spouse, parent, sibling, and friend. She wore her heart on her sleeve and shared how she felt with passion. During Mom’s later years our sister, Sandra, gave an abundance of time in caring for our mother, and we are thankful to Sandra for her selfless gifts of love and devotion.
