Mary Lou Hull Mohr, age 86, died Thursday, April 1, 2021 at Wellington Place in Decorah.
A memorial service will be held at a later time, with details still to be arranged.
Mary Lou Hull was born October 31, 1934 in Moline, Ill., the daughter of Rubert Hull and Myrtle (Flodman) Hull. She was named after her grandmothers – Mary Hull and Louise Flodman – later writing in a grade-school autobiography “I acquired my grandmothers’ names. I hope I can acquire some of their kindness and patience.”
With her father’s work as a Lutheran pastor, the family moved several times during Mary Lou’s childhood, living in Andover, Ill.; Arco, Minn.; and Mediapolis, Iowa, where she was a stalwart defender on her school’s basketball team but was always bothered that the rules of the girls’ 6-on-6 game were different than those the boys followed.
