Mary Lou enjoyed her family, neighbors and was Nannie to a lot of children that she babysat for.  She gave to everyone and wanted nothing in return.  She really enjoyed cooking and it was the best.  She was also the best seamstress and could sew anything, and she made a career of doing just that.  The family would like to thank the many caregivers at Wellsprings at Amelia and the Hospice Staff for their passionate care for our Mom.  The family will receive friends from 6-8:00 p.m. on Tuesday September 22 at the Hillsman-Hix Funeral Home, 16409 Court St. in Amelia.  A graveside service will be held at at 2:00 p.m. at Amelia Presbyterian Cemetery on Wednesday September 23.  Donations may be made in her memory to the Amelia Rescue Squad.
