Mary Lou Reilly
June 26, 1932 — June 1, 2021
Mary Lou Reilly went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on June 1, 2021 at the age of 88.
Mary Lou is predeceased by her husband of 58 years, Charles "Charlie" Reilly, and her siblings Owen (Char) Roth and Doris.
She is survived by her three children, Brian (Sherry), Mary Mattle, and Suzanne Palmer; nieces & nephews Barbara, Jim, and Larry; grandchildren Matthew (Kimberly), Jonathan (Adrienne) Turnbull-Reilly, Kirsten (Mark) VandenBout, Hannah, Emma (Paul) Reilly-Wright, Luke Palmer, Seth (Kristen) Palmer, and Stephen (Dyan) Palmer; and great grandchildren Cecelia and Thomas Palmer.
Mary Lou was born in 1932 to her parents Clarence and Alma Roth. In the 1950s, she began work at the Navy Ordinance Division at Kodak, where she met Charlie. The two were married in 1956 and moved to Webster to begin their life as a family. The two were involved in music together, with Mary Lou singing with the Sweet Adelines. More recently, she sang in the choir at Joy Community Church. She and Charlie were founding members of New Jerusalem Church, which later became Joy community. Mary Lou prayed and ministered to many women in the church over the 40+ years she was a member there. All those who spent even a few moments with her are fortunate to have been blessed by her gentle spirit and steadfast faith in God.
Calling hours will be held on Friday, July 16 at Newcomer East on Empire Blvd. from 5-8 p.m.
A Celebration of Life service will be Saturday, July 17 at 11 a.m, at Mary Lou's home church, Joy Community Church at 890 N. Goodman St., Rochester.
