Mary Lou Thomas

Mary Lou moved to Litchfield Park from Akron, OH in 1963. She worked as the Assistant Director of Catering for the Wigwam and later retired from Lucent Technologies (formerly AT&T) in 1994.

After retiring she worked part time for fun at the Litchfield Park Recreation Center where she made some wonderful friends who became family.

Mary Lou loved playing cards, hiding Hershey kisses from her grandkids, and spending as much time with her family as possible. She was a member of the Church at Litchfield Park for 54 years and remained solid in her faith until her last breath. She was loved by many and will be deeply missed by family and friends.

Mary Lou is preceded in death by her parents, Neta and Clarence Tarr, husband Jerry, two sisters Helen and Ellen, and brother George.

She is survived by her son Michael Thomas (Carol), daughter Susie Kissell (Dave), two grandchildren Tyler Kissell (Anjali), Kara Kissell Farrow (Ben) and two great grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 31, 2018 at 1:30 pm at The Church at Litchfield Park. In lieu of flowers please make memorial donations in Mary Lou’s name to The Church at Litchfield Park, 300 North Old Litchfield Road, Litchfield Park, AZ 85340.
