Mary Louise Boli
Mary Louise Boli, age 93 of Greenville, Ohio passed away on December 3,
2017. She was born June 20, 1924 in Monroe Township, Darke
County, Ohio to the late David and Mary (Taylor) Stager.
Louise was a 1942 graduate of Franklin Township High School, Darke
County, where she was valedictorian of her class. She then earned
a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Miami University in
Oxford, Ohio, graduating in 1946. While at Miami, Louise was a
member of the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority and was captain of the Miami
University cheerleading squad.
Following college graduation, Louise worked as a teacher of Business
and English, first at New Madison High School and then at Fairview High
School in Dayton, Ohio. She then moved to Greenville, Ohio after
meeting her future husband, and love of her life, Dr. Ray Boli at a
Greenville Park Dance. They were married on June 18, 1949.
After Ray’s graduation from Medical School at Columbia University in
New York, Louise and Ray lived at West Point, where Ray did his medical
internship and then in Washington D.C., while he was doing his
residency at Walter Reed Hospital. They returned to Greenville in
1953, to establish roots and build their family.
Louise was very active in the Greenville community and involved in a
wide variety of activities and organizations, including the Medical
Auxiliary, PTA, Investment Club, Elite Club, Bridge Club and YMCA to
name a few. She was a faithful member of the First Congregational
Church. In 1985, Louise decided to return to the work force,
choosing a career to align with her passion for travel, working as a
Travel Agent at Treaty Travel in Greenville for nearly 15 years.
On a personal note, Louise loved sports of all types – particularly the
Miami Red Hawks for which she held season tickets for both football and
basketball for many years. She, herself, was a golfer and played
tennis well into her 70’s. She loved spending time with family
and friends, particularly at The Coffee Pot in Greenville and was a
devoted Jersey Boys fan. Louise was an enthusiastic lover of
life, a wonderful wife, devoted mother and friend to many.
Louise is survived by her three daughters Mary Ann Packo of New York
City, Jane and husband Joe Komasara of Columbus, Ohio and Nancy
Thruston of Bellbrook, Ohio; two grandsons Gates and Hunter Thruston;
and many extended family and friends.
In addition to her parents and husband, Louise was preceded in death by
her brother Hollie William Stager and her sister Opal Maxine Lease.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, December 7 at 3:00 pm at
the First Congregational Christian Church, 115 West Fifth Street in
Greenville with Pastors Don Myers and Japheth Bear officiating.
The family will receive friends on Thursday, 30 minutes prior to the
services in the church.
An after-service gathering location for family and friends will follow.
It is the wishes of the family that memorial contributions (in lieu of
flowers) be given to the Donor's Choice.
