COLUMBUS–Mary Lou Weisensel, age 86, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, March 21, 2021. She was born on April 2, 1934 in Beaver Dam to Clifford and Mary (Vanhurden) McClurg. Shortly after graduating from Beaver Dam High School, she was married to David Weisensel, enjoying sixty-three years together. She worked as a secretary/medical transcriptionist throughout Dodge County. Mary Lou and David raised their children, Lisa and Scott, in Beaver Dam before moving to rural Columbus. As a family, they enjoyed outdoor activities such as camping, hunting, and fishing with their dogs. In later years they loved gardening, especially landscaping with flowers. They also did woodworking and crafting, not only enjoying the creativity, but the social network they developed with their customers and close friends. Mary Lou was an avid bird watcher, looking forward to the return of the orioles and hummingbirds each spring. Her favorite thing was sunshine and she lived for summers.

Survivors include her daughter, Lisa Weisensel of Beaver Dam, grandson, Travis Weisensel of Alexandria, MN, and her faithful fur baby Penni, as well as many wonderful friends and acquaintances.  She was preceded in death by her parents, husband David in 2016, and son Scott in 2002. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Inurnment will be at Okeeg Cemetery, Danville. Memorials may be directed to your local Humane Society.
