Mary Lou was a loving wife and mother, sister and friend.
She enjoyed gardening and was an avid Texas Tech Football fan. Before moving to Lubbock, she was a very active and faithful member of St. Pius X Catholic Church and worked in the O’Donnell ISD School Cafeteria for many years.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 36 years, Marty Burrola; parents, Manuel and Tula Sanchez; sister, Gertrudes Sanchez; nephews: Michael Sanchez, Aaron Cruz, and Matthew Sanchez; brothers-in-law: Rene Ramirez, Sr. and Angel Ramirez, and sister-in-law, Mary Sanchez.
Left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Belinda; six siblings: Manuel (Leticia) Sanchez, Jr., Bertha Ramirez, Carmen Ramirez, George (Sally) Sanchez, Rosie (Juan) Zapata, and Arnold (Diane) Sanchez, numerous nieces, nephews, in-laws, and friends.
The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Rodolfo Martinez and the staff at Joe Arrington Cancer Treatment and Research Center, as well as Hospice of Lubbock.
