Mary Lou Oakes McLean, 90, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, April 4, 2023 at her residence. She was born in Virginia to the late Curtis and Etta McCrickard Oakes and was married to the late Herman Eugene “Butch” McLean.
She was a lifetime member of Glen Hope Baptist Church and her parents were founding members of the church. Mary Lou served for several years as the church historian and was active in women’s missions. She was a great cook, loved sewing for her family, and enjoyed doing puzzles and word searches. Mary Lou was a loving, caring and devoted, wife and mother, but her greatest joy was being a Nannie to her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
