She was born October 4, 1927, in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Albert and Mildred (Antrobus) Rice, and was the younger of two sisters. After graduating from high school Mary Lou attended nursing school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was there that she met the love of her life, MSG Robert E. Jameson (Jim) who swept her off her feet. They were married in Puerto Rico, where Robert was stationed in the USAF. Throughout the years, Mary Lou moved frequently being a military wife. She worked as a pharmacy technician for several years in Eau Gallie, Florida and also spent a few years as an Insurance Agent. She loved boating and spent many years living on a houseboat. Mary Lou loved to read and was a whiz at using her ipad for everything from downloading her favorite authors books to face timing with her kids. What Mary Lou loved most though was volunteering wherever help was needed. For many years she was active in Project Linus, knitting hundreds of baby blankets and hats. She had most recently been a volunteer at the Brannon Center in New Smyrna Beach for over ten years. Mary Lou and Jim spent 65 wonderful years together before his death in 2012.
