Date Of Death:March 15, 2012
Service Date:March 17, 2012

Mary Louise Cascardo, age 84 of Bloomington passed away early Thursday morning March 15, 2012 at IU Health Bloomington Hospital. She was born September 24, 1927 in Jersey City, New Jersey to Adolph and Loretta McCann Cascardo. After graduating from Long Island University, Mary Louise spent her professional career with Macy's department stores in New York as a manager of customer service. Mary Louise spent most of her life on the east coast before moving to Bloomington a little over 20 years ago. While here in Bloomington she became a member of the St Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, volunteered at IU Health Bloomington Hospital Gift shop for 20 years, devoted a great deal of time to her family and friends, but mostly spent as much time behind the wheel of her car. While not behind the wheel of her car, her family fondly remembers the truly magnificent gin and tonic she could whip up. Mary Louise leaves behind her nephew Louis Cascargo and wife Debbie of Nashville, Indiana and niece Loretta Plaa and husband Guy of Eugene, Oregon. Funeral services for Mary Louise will be conducted Saturday March 17, 2012 at Allen Funeral Home 4155 South Old Highway 37 at 2:00PM. Friends may call on Saturday from 12:00Noon until the time of the service at 2:00PM, also at Allen Funeral Home. Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.allenfuneralhome.org.

    Dear Lou and Debbie, I was so sorry to read of your loss. Your aunt must have been a great lady but your treasured memories will bring you through your sorrow. I worked in the Dean's Office in the IU Sch of Ed in the 80s and have retired in 2009 after 35 yrs at IU. I've spent many hours at the Bloomington Hospital in the last ten years with my loved ones who passed and probably met your aunt in the gift shop each time. What a lovely place to volunteer! With Deepest Sympathy, Aloma
