Born and raised in Burlington, ON to John and Mary Atkins.  Mary Lou graduated from teacher’s college and went to work at the Ross W. Macdonald School for the Blind in Brandford, where she met Jack, her husband of 67 years.  After moving around for several years for Jack’s work at the CNIB, they finally settled in Barrie, ON where Mary Lou taught for many years at the Codrington Public School.
