Mary DeBel was born June 1, 1903 in Tieldt, Belgium, the daughter of Vital and Maria Colletta (DeBackere) DeBel. She married Alphonse Lampo June 24, 1924 in St. Mary's Catholic Church, East Moline. He died February 19, 1988. Mary's family was her life. She and Alphonse raised seven children in the home they shared for their entire married life of 64 years. Six of the children were born in that small two-bedroom home that she kept immaculately clean, all the while preserving and preparing good food to feed them all, baking home-made bread, mending their clothes and crocheting countless doilies that all of her family treasure today. She and Papa could be strict when they needed to be, but no one ever doubted they were loved and secure in their home. Her deep faith in her Lord sustained her through good times and bad and to the end one thing she knew she could do for her family was to pray the rosary for them which she did many times a day. Survivors include: daughters and son-in-law, Anna and Vernon Blomme of Silvis, IL, Mary Ann Meincke of East Moline, Theresa and Edward Challenger of Freeport, IL; sons and daughters-in-law, Albert Lampo of East Moline, IL Joseph and Carolyn Lampo of Moline, IL, Gerard and Marlyn Lampo of Minnesota City, MN, Edward and Kay Lampo of East Moline; 37 grandchildren, 45 great grandchildren, 7 great great grandchildren; many step great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her: parents; husband; sister, Hortense DeBel; brother, Alidor DeBel; daughters-in-law, Bernice Lampo, Vera Lampo, and Jeanette Lampo; son-in-law, Jack Meincke.
