A Memorial Mass, with celebrant Fr. Darin Schmidt, will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday, March 31 in the chapel at Good Samaritan Society-Tyndall. Inurnment will be at St. Leo Catholic Cemetery.

Mary Lou was born April 30, 1937 in Tyndall to Cyrill and Anna (Vanek) Hudek, who had emigrated from Bohemia, now a part of the Czech Republic.

Mary Lou lived in California for a few years following graduation. She then returned to Tyndall where she spent her remaining years. When her health declined, she entered the Good Samaritan Society in September 2009. Mary Lou was a devout Catholic and member of St. Leo. Few people were aware of her beautiful talent of painting and drawing. She also enjoyed reading and watching The Eternal Word Television Network, which presents around-the-clock Catholic programming.

Grateful for having shared in Mary Lou’s life, are dear friends, Arlene Houska of Kimball, Georgia Kott of Platte, her Good Samaritan family and numerous other friends, who dearly cared for her.

Mary Lou is preceded in death by her parents; brother and sister-in-law, Jerry and Marcella Hudek; sisters, Adelaide Hudek, Harriet Hudek and Pauline Hudek and niece, Bonnie Jo Hudek.
