Obituary of Mary Lou Stoeckel

Mary Lou Stoeckel, age 82, of Fridley, passed away on November 10, 2022, after a few years of battling dementia.

Mary Lou was born in Bradford, Ohio to Maurice and Mellie Fine. She was an independent spirit that sought knowledge and a healthy lifestyle. She had an excellent eye for style, enjoyed decorating and surrounding herself with beautiful things. Mary Lou was an avid Twins fan and watched as many games as possible. She was sporty; playing softball with her league and bowling with her team.  She treated herself to a trip to England. On top of everything, she volunteered at a theatre company in downtown Minneapolis and enjoyed going to many of their productions. She worked many years at Bureau of Engraving in Minneapolis and, later in life, Mary Lou became a sales consultant for a real estate agency and hosted many open houses. 

She was preceded in death by her parents; and her siblings, Cora Ellen, Waldo, Bettie, Carl, Patty Louise, and Richard (Dick).

She is survived by her children, Steven, Brenda, Cathy, and Sherry (Chuck) Blair; her granchildren, Chantil, Brandi, and Cassandra; and her great grandchildren.

Mary Lou will be dearly missed by her loved ones and friends.
