Mary Louise "Lou" Christensen of Cheyenne, Wyoming, passed peacefully on July 18, 2024, at her home, with family by her side.
She was born October 17, 1937, in Alliance, Nebraska to Herb and Arlene McFall. Mary Lou worked as a clerk for many years, before settling into her role at Shop 'n' Save as a pricing manager and checker. She enjoyed working with friends Ruth Suiter and Ellen Lloyd.
She was a longtime member of "The Women of the Moose" where she loved spending time with friends playing dominos every Wednesday. She enjoyed spending time with her Stink dog while gardening outside. Mary Lou loved her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She loved watching her grandchildren at school and sporting events, from competitive speech to volleyball, basketball, and football. During home games you would find her in the stands. When she could no longer attend games, she would collect newspaper articles. She cherished the time she spent with the newest family addition sweet baby Solene.
