Grace Denon Williams ‘40
My four years at Mary Louis not only provided me with a wonderful education but also enabled me to meet friends with whom I have kept in touch since our graduation in 1940. I thoroughly enjoyed my four years there.

Betty Jane Kelley Starr-Chapple ‘40
I wish to acknowledge my gratitude to my parents for the many sacrifices that they made to enable me to attend Mary Louis. It was at Mary Louis that I learned that the best was always expected of us. Truly, there was an expectation of excellence for us in everything that we did in life.

Audrey Altenburg Schlee ‘49
I give my time and what money I can to TMLA because I spent the happiest and most productive years of my life there. The friends I made there are still with me 60 years later.

Amparo Diaz Connors ’78, P ’07, ‘08
Empowerment, Opportunity, Growth, Family.’ These words exemplify the reasons why I give. My four years at TMLA provided a foundation to be a confident leader and a proud parent of two graduates. The Mary Louis experience is unique and it gives women the tools to succeed in any career!

Mary Louis gave me a place where I would always feel like I belong. There is always a feeling of love and warmth.
