Mary Lou Pasko (nee Rainbolt) was born in Creal Springs, Illinois and later moved to Chicago as a young woman. She always remembered her roots and always took joy in maintaining contact with her family in Southern Illinois. A small town girl with a southern accent went on to meet a young man with a Chicago accent, and later became the beloved wife of her late husband Stanley. Together they raised their family in Niles, and she retired following a 30 year career at Avon. She and her sisters sang and harmonized so well that many thought they should be recorded.
Loving daughter of the late Ruby Faye Thetford Rainbolt. Mary is the precious and devoted mother of the late Judy (late John), Jane (Mike), and the late Michael. Cherished grandmother of Dave, Bob, and Dori (Tony). Loving sister to the late Kathryn (late Kenneth), the late Betty (late Carl), the late David (late Reba), Rosalyn (Ray), the late Dottie Jo (late Don), the late Jack (Linda), Judy Lee, Jeannie, and Franny who passed away as an infant. Beloved aunt of many.
Gram will be missed by her entire family, including Dottie her beloved "Granddog" who enjoyed many conversations, television shows, meals, singing, and remained at Grams side up until the end.
