MaryLou and Bill first lived in Brookville, Ind., where their daughter Pamela and son Timothy were born. The family moved to Fairfield, Iowa, in 1958. Their son Matthew was born in 1960. William W. WARD passed away in 1975. MaryLou enjoyed being a member of PEO and was a 50-year member of the original chapter C.

She was a proud grandmother to nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She and Bob enjoyed spending winters in Marco Island, Fla., and upon his retirement moved to Canyon Lake, Texas, in 1993. They loved the Texas Hill Country area.
