Mary Lou was a friend of mine since the 1960’s growing up in North Little Rock. She was a member of the Retreat Singers out of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral and was an integral part of our Life of Christ musical presentation, She played guitar and sang beautifully! She was a wonderful longtime friend and I am grateful to have known her and miss her.

What a talented young girl to grow up to be such a smart and beautiful person. Her parents would have been so proud of her.
Not only could she sing, but she could play most instruments and of course speak a number of foreign languages.
She will not be forgotten!

Dr. Martin was my primary professor at Hendrix College in the 1980s: I was a French major. She was an excellent and challenging instructor, but I worked hard and made high marks in her French classes. I also had her as one of my professors for a Senior Studies course entitled, "Master Works." She hammered me with my grade for the paper I wrote for her part of the class. She provided the instruction, in English, on the ancient French work, "Tristan and Iseult."(Tristan and Isolde, obviously). She gave me a low C and told me my writing in English was terrible and I needed to work on it, so I did. She was a gifted person, an excellent teacher, and a very nice lady. My condolences to her friends and family who will miss her. I grieve with you.
