elevated 2miyz 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 2miyz 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 2miyz 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 2miyz 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.

elevated 2miyz Calling me home…
elevated 2miyz They’re calling me home.
elevated 2miyz I’m going home.
elevated 2miyz Mom, you are finally home, and we will miss you dearly. Whenever you want to talk to any of us, ask God to use his private phone and mention you may be awhile. We love you, and will talk soon.
elevated 2miyz As expressions of sympathy, donations to charities Mom supported all her life: Covenant House, The Salvation Army or Scott Mission are appreciated.
Alleluia! She is home and I will miss her as the memories keep coming to my mind.
She was one of the three musketeers as we were named by Cherry.
May we meet again some day in heaven our long awaiting home.
God is faithful and just and will never fail us as we journey this earthly planet.
God Bless Aunt Mary Lou. I will always remember her kind words and love she shared. Peace be with you. Love, Darren Dobson
Mary Lou was always a kind and loving sister. When i had each of my children she always came to visit with a gift for the new baby but with gifts for all the kids. She always made sure they all got attention from her. I do have some lovely and fun memories. We did have good times and those i will remember. Its too bad we cant see the welcoming she would have received, but i know it would be a party knowing our family. Have fun!!!
Love to all the family. Auntie you will truly be missed. Your love of purple always shined and made me to always plant a purple flower in my garden each year.
Give grandma and grandpa a big hug from me.
Glad you are at peace now and free of your pain.
Love forever.
Suzanne
My heartfelt condolences to the family for the loss of your dear Mary, be she mother/grandmother/sister/cousin/friend.
I met Mary many years back in the Prayer Group at Epiphany Parish on Monday evenings. It was in these worship times together that we felt God’s presence, and to me, as if time stood still for a short time.
When talking with Mary afterwards, I remember her sweet and kind voice sharing some helpful motherly advice as I was a young mother of 2 at the time. Thank you Mary and rest in peace.
