MaryLou was born May 4, 1934, in Adams County, Wisconsin to Roy and Sarah (Button) Mattox. She married Donald McLaughlin on May 2, 1959, in West Allis, Wisconsin. MaryLou enjoyed her family first and foremost. She loved making her special hangers and bread wrapper rugs. Spending time with her 17 grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren brought her extreme pleasure, happiness and kept her young. A significant part of her daily ritual included at least three calls a day with her sister. She attributed her 89 years of healthy living and clean doctor bills to Little Debbies and Mountain Dew.
