Mary Lou

Beaudreaux Hantz

Mary Lou Beaudeaux Hantz, 72, was born on December 27, 1953, and passed away on November 12, 2026.

She was a native and lifelong resident of Vinton and was a devoted member of Faith Assembly of God, where she faithfully played the piano and led music during worship services. Music was one of her many gifts, and she was blessed with beautiful musical talent. Mary Lou found joy in cooking for her family, reading and studying her Bible, and spending time coloring. She was also known for her beautiful handwriting and her love for the simple things in life. She had a special love for lighthouses and enjoyed their beauty and the meaning they held for her. One of her special joys was caring for her beloved dog, Sadie, who held a special place in her heart. Above all, she cherished her faith, her family, and the many little things that made life special.
