Mary Klein

God grant eternal peace to Mary Louise (Stanley) Klein, loving wife, mother, and grandmother.  She passed from this life to the next on May 2nd, 2018.  Mary Lou was born in Wichita, Kansas on August 24th 1938.  She graduated from St. Mary’s Cathedral High School where she was a cheerleader her junior and senior year.  She studied ballet during her school years, and oil and watercolor painting in her adult life.  She married Norman Klein at 18 and spent the next several years raising her family and, “trying to keep her three boys from hurting themselves and each other”.  She enjoyed caring for her family, playing bridge, treasure hunting at garage sales, raising African violets, taking walks, family games of Aggravation, and watching Sister Angelica’s program.  Her passion was her faith.  She enjoyed going to Mass and she prayed the rosary every night for us all.  Mary Lou was as sweet as she was beautiful and will be missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing her.
