Mary Lou Reisenbigler

Mary Lou Reisenbigler, 92, of Surprise, Arizona. It is with tremendous sadness that we announce Mary Lou’s passing on September 24, 2023. She leaves behind her two children, Chris (Cyndi) and Tracie (Doug), three grandchildren, CJ (Kayla), Daniel (Alexx), and Makayla; and six great-grandsons: Gaige, Kellan, Bentley, Luca, Asher, and Lincoln, as well as her brother Robert (Roberta) and her niece, Simone. 

She will be forever missed by her family and friends for her love, friendship, kindness, loyalty, and courageous spirit in the face of adversity. After the loss of her beloved husband of 60 years (Charles) in 2011, Mary Lou found renewed joy and purpose in volunteering at Peoria Elementary School. In her many years there, she became the friend and grandmother that many who crossed her path never knew they needed. One of her biggest joys, aside from travelling however, was being a Grandma and a Gigi. Her ”Littles”, as she called her great-grandsons, had an instant playmate and cuddler whenever they saw her. She delighted in the time she got to spend with them, and was often found playing with stuffed animals, reading books, watering her flowers with any number of helpers, or trying not to laugh at their antics and failing miserably. 

She may have been small in stature but leaves behind a gigantic hole in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
