On January 2, 1956 she married Donald Peyerk and they celebrated 70 years of marriage this year. Together they raised four children and were blessed through the years with eight grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

Mary Louise was a member of St. Michael (Annunciation of the Lord Parish) in Port Austin, The Red Hat Society and The Grindstone – Port Hope Sportsmen’s Club. Mary Louise established the “Sassy Sisters” group, where they met for lunch a couple times a month to sit and laugh and catch up on each other’s lives.

Mary Louise poured her heart into her family and it brought her great joy to spend time with them. She was Grams to her grandchildren and Gigi to her great grands. Her kitchen was always stocked with fresh baked goodies to be shared with anyone that walked in the door. She also enjoyed reading, walking, gambling and making ceramics. Donald and Mary Louise were snow birds and traveled to Arizona for the last 30 years where they had a community of friends.
