Mary Lou Barlow

Mary Lou Barlow, loving Momma and Memaw was called home and ran into the arms of her loving Savior on Friday, August 3, 2012 at the age of 70. She was born in Fordyce, Arkansas on October 31, 1941. Though her heart was weak, her faith was strong. She truly taught us the meaning of putting up a great fight and she gracefully finished her journey here on Earth. She fought the good fight, She finished the race, She kept the faith. (2 Timothy 4:7).

She is survived by her brother Bobby Joe Lane and sister Ilene Lane, daughters; Brenda Allen, Regina Wilburn, Christina Barlow and son John Barlow and wife Kim Barlow; grandchildren, Lanae Allen, Andrea Wilburn Moss and husband Jeff Moss, Lindsey Allen, Leanna Barlow, Katie Wilburn, Kamron Allen, Paris Barlow, Christian Rosales-Herring, Aden Barnes, Daniel Lofton, Sam Gray, and McKayla Gray; as well as extended family and many dear friends. She is preceded in death by her loving husband Robert Barlow, her daughter Debbie Williamson as well as her parents Bob and Doris Lane and brother David Lane.

Throughout this long road she definitely left a legacy of becoming everyone's favorite with her loving spirit, keen sense of humor and longing to connect with anyone who walked in the room. Her light filled the lives of those around her and she was a blessing to many who had the joy of knowing her. In honor of her light that will forever continue in our hearts and her favorite color, the family request that yellow be worn to her services if you would like to participate.
