Mary Louise Long
April 28, 1925 — August 21, 2021
Mary Louise McLean Long, 96, of Casper died peacefully with family on August 21, 2021, at the Wyoming Medical Center. She was born April 28, 1925, in Casper, to Angus McLean and Colina Gillespie McLean.
Mary grew up in the tight-knit community of Scottish immigrants. At Bobby Burns's Day celebrations, she would do the Highland Fling. Mary graduated from Natrona High School in 1943.
She married her high school sweetheart, Frank J. Long, on August 15, 1945. The couple moved to Lincoln, Nebraska, while Frank got his degree from the University of Nebraska. The young couple moved permanently to Casper with their family in 1954.
Mary's first love and priority was always her family and her faith. She was a charter member of Mount Hope Lutheran Church. Mary was a wonderful Christian woman who was devoted to the Lord. She will be remembered for her kindness and helping others. She worked for the Red Cross and attended classes at Casper College. Mary volunteered for over twenty years at the Wyoming Medical Center. She had a passion for walking daily and then meeting friends for coffee. She always enjoyed being with her long-time lunch group and attending Bible study at her church.
Mary is survived by her son, Donald Long (Barbara) of Peoria, Arizona; her daughters, Cathy Mackey of Cheyenne; and Jeanine Allison of Casper; seven grandchildren, Shawna Mackey Geiger (Brad); Brian Mackey; Kristin Mackey, all of Denver; Rebecca Lutz; Scott Long, both of Phoenix, Arizona; Cody Allison of Casper; and Riley Allison of Los Angeles, California; four great-grandchildren, Ethan and Griffin Geiger; Brody Mackey; and Cheyenne Lutz; loved ones, Stephanie Mackey; and Kelsey Yokoyama; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Frank; two sons-in-law, Terry Mackey and Bill Allison; twin great-granddaughters, Ella and Reese Mackey; and brother, Sandy McLean.
Due to Covid-19, a private family memorial service will be celebrated on Saturday, August 28, 2021, at 11:00 AM, at Mount Hope Lutheran Church.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Mount Hope Lutheran Church, 2300 Hickory St., Casper, WY 82604.
