Mary Shoff

Mary Lou Shoff, age 57, and a longtime Dewey, Oklahoma resident, passed away Sunday, May 3, 2015, after an extended illness in Ponca City, Oklahoma. Mary Lou Brown was born on August 4, 1957 in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. She was the daughter of Jay and V. Louise Brown. She grew up and attended school in Dewey, Oklahoma and graduated from Dewey High School in 1975. She loved being a "Bulldogger"! She married Brian M. Shoff on April 30, 1983 and they had one daughter, Keri Christine Shoff. One of Mary's favorite activities came when Keri (also a Bulldogger) played softball both for the Dewey Bulldoggers and the Bartlesville Blazers. She loved to travel to games, spend nights out of town with the team and root for them from the stands. She was also a longtime Kansas City Chiefs fan. Shortly after high school, she opened and operated "The Beauty Cottage" in Dewey for 20 years. Many happy memories came from her customers. Later in life, she was doubly blessed by granddaughters, Emilee Anne Shoff and Taylor Jae Shoff. No matter what life's circumstances, she loved her girls and Brian. Her nieces and nephews testify to how she always made each and every one of them feel special. Mary Lou was preceded in death by her parents, Jay and Louise Brown and her husband, Brian M. Shoff. She is survived by her daughter, Keri C. Shoff and partner, Tonilynn; two grandchildren, Emilee Shoff and Taylor Shoff, all of Bartlesville; her sister, Karen "Susie" Mason and her husband, Dewayne Mason, of Ponca City; her brother, David Brown and his wife, Susan, of Little Rock, Arkansas; and many nieces and nephews that she dearly loved. Memorial gifts honoring Mary and benefiting Mary's family may be sent to Truity Credit Union, made payable to the "Mary Lou Shoff Memorial".
