Mary Lou Zimmerman, age 95 of Monroe, went home to her Lord and Savior on Sunday, June 26, 2022.
Mary Lou was born December 7, 1926 in Newton Falls, Ohio to Harold and Esther Aduddell. She was a 1944 graduate of Monroe High School and worked in the office of Dr. Hilda Pinkus. After World War II, she met Blaine Zimmerman and they were married on July 10, 1948 in Monroe. Together, they built a lifetime of love, centered around family.
Mary Lou was the rock that held everything together and covered it all with love, a true Proverbs 31 woman. She was active in her faith, up until the time of her stroke, almost 20 years ago. She was a member of St. Paul's United Methodist Church since 1938, serving the church in a variety of ways. She also volunteered with the Monroe Thrift Shop.
When she wasn't at home, Mary Lou loved spending time up north at the family cottage on Douglas Lake. She belonged to various bridge clubs and played almost daily. Most of all, she was a woman of integrity and grace, extraordinary patience, unconditional love and kindness.
Mary Lou is survived by her husband, Blaine, two sons Tom (Julie) and Don. She is also survived by 4 grandchildren Alec (Lauren), Rachel (Justin) Distelrath, Aaron, and Marlena and 4 great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her daughter Polly, her parents and 4 siblings—Jack (Mary Lou) Aduddell, Dorothy (Bob) Bert, Tom (Sherry) Aduddell and Harold Aduddell.
Private graveside services will be held at Roselawn Memorial Park. For anyone wanting to make a donation in memory of Mary Lou, the family suggests supporting St. Paul's United Methodist Church. Bacarella Funeral Home is assisting the family with funeral and cremation services.
