Mary Lou Willoughby

September 17, 1933 – July 20, 2023

Mary Lou Autry was born September 17, 1933, at Burnt Mill Ferry in the old boarding house of Fay & Hunter's Mill. She lived by the Obion River until she was about five years old, then her small family pulled up stakes and moved to a short lane called Knapp in the Peony Ridge neighborhood. At that Time, Knapp was still a country route paved only with gravel and no street lights in sight. It was a world filled with pastures, flowers, and lightning bugs. Her parents and uncles built a new home with the assistance of one professional carpenter helping with the details. Her mother, who wore jeans before they were fashionable with women, did the electrical work, while her father and uncles worked with hammers and saws. Both her father, "Tom" Autry, and her mother, "Dot", were already employed at the cotton mill when they married, so their move was one step closer to work. The new community on the outskirts of town was quickly filling up with relatives of her father, but soon "Dot's" mother, stepfather and niece Ruth also began building a house on part of the land the family had acquired. It was more like a small farm or commune, than what you see now in a typical city neighborhood. A few years later the family would be complete with the birth of Cheryl the couple's second and youngest daughter.

As a teenager, Mary worked part-time at the old library on Masonic Street and for a while at the Ritz movie theater downtown. Her father would loan her his old black sedan when she went to school so she could pick-up groceries in the afternoon, but her friend Joyce and cousin Monet would sometimes join her in skipping class and end up taking the smoking sedan to Betties Snack Bar on Court Street. While stopping by one day she spied a young insurance salesman, just back from the Korean War. He was driving a new car and had a new suit, bought with the money he did not have the opportunity to spend while he was overseas. She was young and painfully shy, but Dad said she caught his attention by the way she would linger at the jukebox with her hand on one hip. Dad had never made a commitment to any one woman. In Japan the girls called him "Butterfly Boy" because he flitted from girl to girl, but somehow this green-eyed teenager was different. Dad said that he decided to marry her the first time he spotted her.
