Mary Lou Levanos, 66
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — Mary Lou (Ellis) Levanos, 66 of Clarksburg died Friday, March 29, 2024, from complications with her struggles from COPD. She passed in the loving arms of her husband and son.
Mary Lou was born in North Adams on Oct. 23, 1957, the daughter of the late Thomas R. & Mary (Joseph) Ellis. She graduated from the former St. Joseph High School and was employed by the North Adams Housing Authority and later as the manager of Brickyard Terrace.
On June 23, 1983, she married the love of her life, Jeffrey Levanos, and together they shared 41 years of marriage. After the birth of her son, she devoted her life to being a mom and taking jobs as a teachers' aide to be able to be home when her son Joe came home from school. Later, when Joe was older, she returned to housing and was finishing up her career as property manager of St. Joseph's Court, where she would have retired on the day of her passing.
Above all, Mary Lou was a devoted wife and mother, always caring for her husband and son. Lou, as she was affectionately known to her friends and family, enjoyed reading and going to the casino, but mostly being the baker for Jack's Hot Dog Stand, where everyone enjoyed her delicious whoopie pies and smiley cookies.
