          MARY LOU BLISS
   Mary Lou Bliss (Taylor) passed away on April 21 in Gig Harbor, Washington after a
battle with Dementia and Parkinson's disease.  She is proceeded in death by her beloved 
husband Harry Halvor.
   Mary Lou was born in her home in Clarksville, Michigan, on Dec. 26, 1938 to
Willard and Geraldine Taylor.  She had an older brother and two older sisters.
   Mary Lou attended high school in Lake Odessa and worked as a payroll clerk upon
graduation.  She met Harry Bliss Jr. in Ionia in 1960 and it was love at first sight.  
They were married six months later on June 11 in the Presbyterian Church in Ionia.  Harry 
was beginning his profession as an optometrist in Ionia.
   Harry (Hal) and Mary Lou had two daughters, Judith Allison Bliss, and Amy
Elizabeth Bliss-Miller (Nathan Bliss-Miller) as well as four grandchildren: Hannah Bliss 
Rogers, Taylor Elizabeth Rogers, Soren Halvor Bliss-Miller and Lars Christian Bliss-Miller.
   Mary Lou was a feisty, determined woman with a strong devotion to her husband and
family.  She was a steady, loving presence and she loved to laugh and entertain friends.  
She and Hal enjoyed wonderful travel opportunities after Hal retired.  She was always a 
favorite of every caregiver she had in the last years as she maintained her sense of humor 
until the end.  Mary Lou is missed terribly.
