  	Mary Lou Deetz (1928 - 2019) Mary Lou Deetz, age 90, of Dover died Sunday, Jan. 27, 2019, with her family by her side. Born May 29, 1928, in Stonecreek, Ohio, she was the daughter of the late Edward and Florence Arbogast. Mary Lou was also preceded in death by her loving husband of 58 years, Dr. Henry "Hank" Deetz, sister Helen Harmon, and brother Jerry Arbogast. In her teens and twenties Mary Lou worked as a hair stylist and legal secretary, but her real calling came with her marriage and family. She and Hank raised five children, each of whom feel fortunate to call her mother, best friend, and their strongest and most loyal advocate. She enjoyed classical music, cooking, and especially baking her famous pies and pastries or preparing the Christmas favorite, date pudding, which she shared with her family, friends, and neighbors. Mary Lou was a faithful and active member of the First Moravian Church of Dover where she sang alto in the choir, played trombone and handbells, and volunteered with the women's fellowship. She enjoyed painting and handcrafts, was an avid reader, and was a master at crossword puzzles. Mary Lou will be sadly missed by her children, Kathy (Robin) Kollman of Macedonia, Kristy Deetz and husband, Edward Risden of Wisconsin, Tim (Shauna) Deetz of New Philadelphia, Elisabeth Deetz and Julie (Eric) Pfeiffer, both of Dover, her brother Eddie Arbogast, nine grandchildren, and two great grandsons. She is also survived by one local niece, Susan (Jim) Peters of Dennison and many nieces and nephews near and far. A memorial service will be held for her immediate family followed by a Celebration of Life ceremony at the Dover First Moravian Church on April 12, 2019 , at 5:00pm. Anyone wishing to donate a memorial in Mary Lou's honor should send donation to Dover First Moravian Church, 319 N. Walnut Street, Dover, OH 44622. Published in The Times Reporter on Jan. 30, 2019
