Mary Lou had many hobbies. For many years, she coached volleyball for several of her children’s teams. She enjoyed playing bingo, baking, sewing, cross stitching and loved tending to her Knock-out rose bushes. She loved watching the television shows COPS and the Family Feud and enjoyed taking trips to Indiana Grand Racing and Casino to watch the horse races. Being a member of the Sunman Fire Dep’t. Ladies Auxiliary, she would always be one of the first ladies to show up to help prepare meals for the firemen when they were called out for lengthy fire calls. Mary Lou never knew a stranger. Her true passion though was her family, especially her grandchildren and dog Jasper.
She is survived by her husband Dan of Sunman; son Kevin Doll of Sunman; daughters Jessica (Nick) Weiler, Jennifer (Josh) Hall and Rebecca (fiancé Zach Henderson) Doll, all of Sunman; sisters Joyce (Albert Jr.) Kraus of Batesville, Indiana, Betty (George) Hoff of Georgia and Dorita Hodges of Lawrenceburg, Indiana; brothers James (Karen) Hountz of Guilford, Indiana, Joseph (Annette) Hountz, Paul (Marilyn) Hountz and Leroy (Kimberly) Hountz, all of Sunman; eight grandchildren. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her niece Anna Kraus.
