Marylou was born on July 22, 1933 in Oklahoma City, and she was adopted by C.P. and Daisy McKinney. She participated in chorus, cheerleading, plays, and band, and she graduated from Marlow High School in 1951. Marylou met the love of her life, Tommy Mahaffey, while they were attending school in Marlow, and the two joined in marriage in Gainesville, Texas on February 13, 1954. Tommy and Marylou moved back to Marlow where they would raise their family. They shared over 56 years together before Tommy preceded her in death. Marylou was very active in her community, participating and helping in both the Delta Gamma sorority and Gamma Phi chapter of the Epsilon Sigma Alpha sorority, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Little League Baseball, Marlow High Band, Red Cross Board of Stephens County, Duncan Community Residence Board, American Legion Auxiliary, and Garland Smith Public Library. She was also very active in her church, First United Methodist Church of Marlow. She became a member there at the age of 8, and she was Chairman of Bible School, church librarian, sang in the choir, helped with children's programs, President of United Methodist Women several times, and helped with anything else where she could. Marylou was a devout Christian, and she carried a profound gratitude for God's blessings in her life. Marylou leaves behind a legacy of love and servitude for those she leaves behind to carry on.

Marylou is survived by her three children, Press Mahaffey and wife, Susan, Greg Mahaffey and wife, Becky, and Melissa Rosko and husband, Bill; seven grandchildren, Michael Mahaffey, Kristi Mahaffey, Todd Mahaffey, Allison Mahaffey, Casey Fincher, Will Rosko, and Tori Rosko; and eight great-grandchildren, Kagun Mahaffey, Liza Fincher, Andrew Gaither, Anessa Mahaffey, Avee Mahaffey, Atticus Fincher, Abigail Mahaffey, and Lincoln Mahaffey.

She was predeceased by her brother, Charles Lyle McKinney.
