Mary Lou Kangas Obituary
With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Mary Lou Kangas (Independence, Iowa), whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on July 2, 2025 at the age of 70. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Mary Lou Kangas to pay them a last tribute.
As Mary Lou departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Mary Lou may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Mary Lou leaves behind.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, Harold Niswonger and Isabelle Niswonger (Atwood); her daughter Emily Tessmer; her son-in-law Joaquin Fioresi; her grandchildren, Shiloh and Adaya Ruroden-Guenther (Levi); and her daughter Shanda Fawn Kangas.
A funeral service will be held on Saturday, August 2nd 2025 at 11:00 AM at the Westminster Presbyterian Church (1301 Kimball Ave, Waterloo, IA 50702).
