MARY LOUISE WACK
Mary Louise Wack died on January 29, 2010 at Manor Care Nursing Home in Potomac, MD, of Alzheimer’s Disease. Devoted wife for 50 years of the late Carl Joseph, Jr.; and beloved mother of Carl “Jay” III of Grasonville, MD, Donald Christopher (deceased 1968), Joanne Kathleen of Oxnard, CA, Michael Raymond of Rockville, MD, Patrisha Davis-Coupe of Potomac, MD, and Denis Martin of Rockville, MD. One of 12 children of Arthur and Ruby Davis, Mary Lou was born in 1925 and raised in the beautiful waterside town of Fleeton, VA, along the Chesapeake Bay. A survivor of the Chesapeake Bay Hurricane of 1933, Mary Lou later moved to Washington, DC, where she met Carl Joseph in 1946 and married after a whirlwind courtship. Their family of eight ultimately settled in Rockville, MD. She was involved in numerous local charities, and was an especially active member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, where she sang in the choir and served as President of the Sodality. She was a life-long Baltimore Orioles Baseball fan. She is survived by four of her siblings: Dorothy Gaines, Mildred Wack, Ruby Davis and Wilmer Davis; by her daughters-in-law Sandra, Nancy and Jennifer; by her grandchildren Scot, Monica, Alison, Carl Joseph IV, Christopher, Donald, Cody and Kaytlin; and by her great-grandchildren Chelsie, Amalie and Alden. Family and friends are welcome to attend a Funeral Mass at 10 a.m. on Thursday, February 4 in the Little Chapel at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 520 Viers Mill Road, Rockville, MD, 20852, followed by interment at Gate of Heaven Cemetery. Mary Lou will be laid to rest next to her husband Carl and son Donald. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully suggests making contributions to any charity engaged in the prevention or treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease.
