Obituary
Mary Lou Thomas “Mema” entered Heaven on March 3, 2018.
Mary Lou moved to Litchfield Park from Akron, OH in 1963. She worked as the Assistant Director of Catering for the Wigwam and later retired from Lucent Technologies (formerly AT&T) in 1994.
After retiring she worked part time for fun at the Litchfield Park Recreation Center where she made some wonderful friends who became family.
Mary Lou loved playing cards, hiding Hershey kisses from her grandkids, and spending as much time with her family as possible. She was a member of the Church at Litchfield Park for 54 years and remained solid in her faith until her last breath. She was loved by many and will be deeply missed by family and friends.
Mary Lou is preceded in death by her parents, Neta and Clarence Tarr, husband Jerry, two sisters Helen and Ellen, and brother George.
She is survived by her son Michael Thomas (Carol), daughter Susie Kissell (Dave), two grandchildren Tyler Kissell (Anjali), Kara Kissell Farrow (Ben) and two great grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 31, 2018 at 1:30 pm at The Church at Litchfield Park. In lieu of flowers please make memorial donations in Mary Lou’s name to The Church at Litchfield Park, 300 North Old Litchfield Road, Litchfield Park, AZ 85340.

To the Kissel and Thomas Families,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this loss.
Mary Lou was our wonderful neighbor, best chocolate chip with coconut cookie baker ever and surrogate Mema to our boys! We loved her and will miss her and her sweet smile.
What a wonderful person to call your guardian angel!
Much love,

Susie, Mike and Families–
I’m so sorry about your mom. Although I hadn’t seen her since we were young (many moons ago), I remember how friendly and nice she was to all of us. My sincere condolences to all of you.
