Obituary for Mary Lou Dubois

MARY LOU DUBOIS

Mary Lou Dubois, 64, bravely passed from this life to the next on May 12, 2022, at Reid Health in Richmond. Born on August 25, 1957, she is the daughter of Mary Magalene Lykins and the late Howard Durham. Mary started out life in Shelbyville, grew up in Connersville, and moved to Garland, Texas before returning to Connersville.

She married Sherman Dubois on August 31, 1973.

Mary proudly raised three children: Johnny (Dena) Dubois, Natasha (fiancé A.J. Taylor, Jr.) Dubois and Tiffaney Dubois. Mary was also blessed to be Mamaw Lucy to grandchildren Kaitlyn Isaacs, Brennon (girlfriend Mallory Woliung) Baker, Brayden Milano, and Quinton Isaacs; and great-granddaughters Avalynn Baker, and Harper Milano. They, along with her siblings Howard Michael Durham, Gracie Durham, Shari Jaramillo, and Larry Elliott Jr. will join together with her extended family members, friends, and regular customers in remembering Mary’s sweet spirit.

Mary was known in the Connersville community as a hard worker, having been a cashier at United Gas Station, a bartender and server at Connersville Country Club, an assistant manager and bartender at the Knights of Columbus, and a server at Stacks Pancake House since 2011.  Even at home she could be found working outdoors, always tending to her beautiful impatiens, marigolds, lilies, sunflowers, and blue buttons. Nothing made her happier than spending time with her family, and they are so grateful for those memories.

Those waiting for Mary on the other side include her husband Sherman, father Howard; grandmothers Mae Durham and Mary Lykins; grandfathers Noah Durham and Lon Lykins, and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Friends and family may gather from 11 am to 1 pm on Thursday May19, 2022, at Urban Winkler Funeral Home, 513 W 8th Street.  Funeral services conducted by Mike Horning will be at 1 pm. Burial will follow at Dale Cemetery.
