Mary Lou was born in Washington, D.C., on December 26, 1942, the daughter of Louis and Mary (Rice) Williams. She married John Robert Aylor on August 22, 1964, in Washington, D.C. John preceded her in death on May 17, 2010. Mary Lou earned her PhD in Philosophy from University of South Carolina, working as a professor of early childhood education at CMU until her retirement in 2014. She was a parishioner at St. Vincent DePaul Catholic where she was active in the church choir and Faith Weavers. Mary Lou had many hobbies, including crafting, genealogy, and a love of travel. Her passion for music was fulfilled by being an integral part of her church choir and learning to play guitar, piano, and organ.
