  Mary Lou Meckley 
   
  MYERSTOWN Mary Lou (nee Kapp) Meckley, 116 S. Broad St., passed away in the 
  PENN Hospice at Rittenhouse in Philadelphia, on Sunday, December 4, 2011. She 
  was born in Reistville, on September 13, 1930, the daughter of George W. and 
  Florence (Sellers) Kapp. She was the widow of Charles H. Meckley, who 
  predeceased her on December 4, 2002. Mary Lou was also predeceased by her son, 
  Fred D. Strickler (2005). She is survived by her daughters, Cynthia Arthur of 
  Newmanstown and Freida Laucks-Fisher of Fleetwood; by her granddaughter, 
  Hilary Laucks Walter (Scott) of Los Angeles, Calif.; and her grandsons, Darby 
  Martin at home, Nathan Laucks (Monica) of Ephrata, and Dr. Jordan Fisher of 
  Orange, Calif. For the past several years Mary Lou's greatest wish was to 
  become a great-grandmother. That wish was granted on May 7, 2011, when her 
  grandson, Nathan, married Monica, and Abigail and Andrew Butrica became part 
  of the Meckley family. Mary Lou is also survived by her sister, Nancy 
  Neiswender of Myerstown; and her brothers, Robert of Myerstown and Allen of 
  Richland. She was predeceased by her brothers, George "Sonny" (Battle of 
  Midway, 1942) and Herbert; and sisters, Caroline and Betty Kapp, and Rachel 
  Urich. MaryLou attended schools in Schaefferstown, Lebanon, and Richland. For 
  many years she was the Cafeteria lady at ELCO High School and later Winthrop 
  Laboratories in Myerstown. For 20 years Mary Lou lived with her 
  husband "Chuck" in Lima, Ohio, where they were active in the Masonic Lodge. 
  They also traveled the United States visiting family and attending Chuck's 
  yearly Army reunions of The 39th Signal Company. Mary Lou also enjoyed being 
  the neighborhood Grandma and babysitter. In 1994 Mary Lou and Chuck retired to 
  Myerstown. Mary Lou's family invites all her friends and family to an Open 
  House in her memory at her home on Wednesday, December 28, from 1 to 7 p.m. 
  Mary Lou donated her brain to the PENN Center for Neurodegenerative Disease 
  Research to make scientific advances necessary for establishing a definitive 
  treatment for Alzheimer's disease, Pick's disease, ALS (Lou Gehrig's) and 
  other disabling neurodegenera-tive disorders.
