She is survived by her husband of 56 years, James Santoro; sons James (Lisa) of Baldwinsville and Jon (Mary) of Apex, NC: four grandchildren: Grace, William, Mitchell and Nicholas; and a brother, William (Glenda), of Charlottesville, VA.

Marilou was a reading teacher in West Irondequoit and Oswego before serving in the Fulton School District for 24 years.

She was born in Fayetteville, NY to Ruth and William Huberth. She graduated from Oswego State in 1963 where she met Jim. They settled in Fulton to raise their family before retiring to Oswego and wintering in Myrtle Beach.

She loved her family, friends, gardening, baking, and traveling. She was compassionate for all animals, especially the poodles they had over the years. She was the second female president of the Oswego Country Club and an active member of All Saints Episcopal Church in Fulton.

Friends and family are invited to attend a brief commitment ceremony to inter Marilou's remains at 11 am on August 8 in Section 14 of Woodlawn Cemetery in Syracuse.  Due to health considerations, masks will be required and no reception will be held after the service.  Guests requiring seating should bring a chair.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Oswego County SPCA, Friends of Oswego County Hospice, Shriners Hospital, or All Saints Episcopal Church in Fulton.

Arrangements are in care of the Dain-Cullinan Funeral Home, Oswego.
