Mary Lou Piazza of Livonia, MI passed away Thursday July 21, 2016, at 5:32am at the age of 62. She was born on May 24, 1954, in Pittsford, New York, to her parents Lou and Mary (nee Dibenedetto) Piazza. Mary Lou is survived by her 4 children: Courtney (Chris) Beutler, Richard (Chelsea) Nejman II, Chad Nejman, and Alyssa (David) Najera, her 3 grandchildren: Connor, Ruby, and Lilliana, and her ex-husband Richard Nejman. Also survived by her sisters, Kathy (Dennis) Sharp and Linda (Tom) Rhatican.
Mary Lou was the “Lynchpin of the family.” She was an inspiration to the family and her friends through good times and bad. She fought long and hard for 9 ½ years and never gave up hope, even at the very end. She was extremely family-oriented and would do anything for a family member without hesitation and with a smile. Cooking big Italian dinners for her family and friends was one of her favorite ways to spend time together. Faith was also very important to Mary Lou and she loved her bible study small group.
Mary Lou also liked to take road trips to visit her out of state family and she enjoyed camping in the summers around Michigan. One of her greatest passions was real estate. She loved staging houses and interior design. Mary Lou was greatly loved and will be deeply missed by so many. She is now in Heaven with the Lord and loved ones such as her mother and we all know she is playing fetch with Spencer, our old dog.
A Memorial Gathering will begin Sunday, July 24, at 3:30pm for all of her family and friends at the Rick Nejman’s house, 14594 Cavell St, Livonia, MI 48154, followed by a brief service by Pastor Ten. There will be a private burial service for immediate family on Monday morning. Please reach out to Rich Nejman with any questions (248-767-5006 or Nejmanr@gmail.com).
