Lamain, Mary Lou age 71, of Burnsville, passed into the loving arms of Our Lord on September 17, 2016. She was preceded in death by her parents, Richard and Louella Wood. Mary Lou grew up in West St. Paul. She attended Sibley High School and then transferred to Shattuck St. Mary's in Faribault where she graduated. She received her Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from the University of Minnesota and her Master's Degree in Speech Therapy from St. Cloud. Her work life was widely varied. She began as a recruiter at Shattuck St. Mary's and then Suomi College in Houghton Hancock Michigan. She would later manage radio stations, own a property management company, be a marketing manager at a Casino, an insurance sales person; she owned her own Workers Rehabilitation Company and was a financial manager for a law firm. While doing all of this she maintained an active spiritual life and was involved with every community she settled in. She served on boards at her church, at Shattuck St. Mary's and the YMCA Camp Widjiwagan. She had the uncanny ability to cultivate a family of friends everywhere she went. Mary Lou is survived by her cousins and other family members and the many-many life long and new friends that were privileged to share her brilliant light. A Memorial service will be held Saturday, October 29, 2016 at 10:30 AM at the Episcopal Church of Nativity, 15601 Maple Island Rd, Burnsville, MN 55306, with a gathering 1 hr. prior to service at church.
