“Children of course were always at the forefront of her mission to serve, and Mary Lou felt the great lack in resources for family planning and community access to healthcare. Always one to search for a solution, Mary Lou became a founding member of Planned Parenthood of the Rio Grande in 1962 and worked ceaselessly for over twenty-five years with the organization. In 1991 her efforts were recognized by the Margaret Sanger Award. On city, county, and state committees, Mary Lou served New Mexico communities. Holding fast to her motto, "Every child should be wanted, cared for, and loved" she put her all into the Governor's Task Force on Adolescent Pregnancy, the Coalition for Children, the Medicaid Advisory Committee, the Citizens Review Board, and the NM Advocates for Children and Families. Truly the joy she was able to bring to children and families became the biggest source for her own joy.”
