In her leisure time, Mary Lou found joy in simple pleasures. She adored the ocean, which provided her with peace and inspiration. Playing cards, bowling, and bingo were favorite pastimes, shared often with family and friends. She also delighted in getaways to Las Vegas with John, savoring each adventure together. Her many beloved dogs were her constant companions, offering her unwavering love and comfort.
She is preceded in death by her husband, John C. Brock, and her parents, Paul and Ruth Goebl. Mary Lou leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness, carried forward by her surviving family: daughters Beth (JP) and Christine (Scott), and her beloved grandchildren Wesley Hart, Claire McGuire, Leo Hart, Brandon McGuire, Cam Hart, and brother Paul (Audrey) Goebl Jr.
