Mary-Lou lived in several places all over New York State, and spent 18 years in Arizona, her favorite place to reside. She found her career in Food Service and primarily was a waitress, last working for The Landmark Café in Sierra Vista, Arizona; she was also employed as a cook for Keuka College in Penn Yan. Outside of her work, she loved to knit and crochet, and enjoyed gardening. She was an avid member of the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life Cancer Walk. Most important of all was her grandchild, Sasha, who was her everything.
In addition to her partner of 27 years, Dennis, she is survived by: two sons, Jason (Andy) Sorg of Rochester, and Gary (Danielle) Miller of Wetstone , Arizona; her granddaughter, Sasha Lynn Miller; siblings, Pat, Tina, Eugene, Kathy, Larry, and Sandy; and several nieces and nephews.
