Marilou Love 

Marilou Bernadette Love, 64, of Willows, Calif., a former Baker City resident,
died Jan. 27, 2002, at her home. 

The rosary will be said at 7 p.m. Thursday at St.Monica's Catholic Church at
Willows. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Friday at St. Monica's
Catholic Church at Willows.  

Mrs. Love was born on Dec. 13, 1937, at Baker City to James Hillmon Sr. and
Anna Neault Hillmon. She attended St. Francis de Sales Academy in Baker City,
graduating in 1956. She moved to Willows with her young family in 1967, where
she had lived since. In 1972, she married the love of her life, John Love. She
was a member of St. Monica's Catholic Church, where she also was the
secretary. For several years, she worked as a real estate agent, then later
she ran her own bookkeeping business until her retirement in 2000. 

She was known by her many friends as "Marilou Mom." She very much enjoyed her
family of eight children, 22 grandchildren and two great-granddaughters. She
loved to have family gatherings for just about any occasion, with the holidays
being her favorites. Her pastimes included gardening, bingo, traveling and
having family barbecues. 

Survivors include her husband of nearly 30 years, John Love Sr. of Willows;
two sons, John Love Jr. and Sean Long, both of Willows; six daughters, Evelyn
Niehues of Willows, Deanna LaCroix of Chico, Calif., Sherry Brott of Willows,
