Mary Lou Howard
Mary Lou Howard, 79, Bangor, Maine, formerly of Augusta, died Monday, Oct. 17, 2005.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29, at St. John’s Catholic Church in Bangor. Interment will be in Mount Hope Cemetery.
She was born on July 30, 1926, in Kansas City, Mo., adopted at age three by Nicholas J. and Celia McClure Pardee and raised in El Dorado, graduating from high school in 1944.
She worked as a bookkeeper for the Gas Service Company where she met her husband, 0. Wayne Howard, with whom she raised two children. The family moved to Augusta in 1965, then retired to Garfield, Ark. in 1988. She returned to Augusta after divorce in 1996, and moved to Bangor in 2004.
Mary Lou was a devout Catholic. She liked to travel, read and socialize. She had many friends and family with whom she corresponded regularly, and they showered her with cards during her illness. She always responded with sympathy to the suffering of others, both on a personal level and by giving to many charities. She had a big smile and an unforgettable laugh, and won the hearts of her caregivers during the last 10 months with her cheerfulness and her compassion for her fellow patients.
She is survived by: her son, Michael W. Howard and his wife, Valerie J. Carter; daughter, Katherine H. Boggs and husband, John Boggs; grandchildren, Emma Howard of Bangor, Luke Hoagland and Wayne Hoagland, both of Lawrenceville, Ga.; ex-husband, O.
