Mary Lou Stuckey Vela

September 21, 1952 — March 12, 2012

Mary Lou Stuckey Vela of Vidor was called home to Heaven on Monday, March 12, 2012, after a long battle with breast cancer.

You can always find Mary outside in her yard tending to her flowers. Mary loved her children, grandchildren, sisters and brothers. She always had a kind and gentle way with each of them. She had a smile that would light up the room and a heart that was just as big, and if you wanted to see that smile, just bake a cake or some lemon cookies.

A simple but humble child of God, Mary loved the Lord above all. She was a godly example to all of those around her. Even to the end, Mary talked about the love of God.

Funeral services will be 10:00 a.m. Thursday, March 15, 2012, at Eastgate United Pentecostal Church in Vidor with Reverend Bobby Edwards, officiating. Burial will follow at Del Rose Cemetery in Vidor.
