Mary Louise Dowling Obituary Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 29, 2002.
DOWLING, MARY LOUISE 88, of Fredericksburg, VA died at her home on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2002.
Miss Dowling was born in Pittsburgh, PA, the daughter of Kathryn and M. Howard Dowling. Her sister, Kitty McNeil and brother, Bud Dowling predeceased her.
Miss Dowling formerly lived in Washington, D.C., New York City, Falls Church, VA and Delray Beach, FL. A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh she attended the University of Wisconsin Graduate School. She taught at Duke University for five years. She was the director of field operations for the National Catholic Community Service. During WW II, Miss Dowling became National Director, Supplemental Recreational Activities Overseas (SRAO), American Red Cross in Europe. During her Red Cross Career she worked with veteran's hospitals and Red Cross chapters in and around New York City. She was welcomed in November 1955 for SRAO into Korea and later directed staff in Vietnam. Her many years of Red Cross service led to her appointment as National Director of Personnel at D.C. Headquarters. She retired from the Red Cross in the late 1970's.
Survivors include her niece, Betty J. Glancy of Fredericksburg; nephew, Donald McNeil III of Cranberry Twp., PA; several cousins and numerous great-nieces and nephews who loved her dearly as "Aunt Pat". The family will received friends from noon until 1 pm on Saturday, Nov. 2nd at the JOHN A FREYVOGEL AND SONS, INC.,, 4900 Centre at Devonshire St., Pgh., PA. A graveside service will be at 2 pm on Sat., Nov. 2nd, at Calvary Cemetery, 718 Hazelwood Ave., Pgh. The family requests that memorial gifts be made to the Mary Louise Dowling Leadership Enhancement Fund, Attn: National Treasurer, American Red Cross Overseas Assoc., 200 South Lebanon Road, Loveland, OH 45140-9304.
---===oOo===---
The SRAO Story - Page 7:
"The people at national headquarters who were directly responsible for the administration of SRAO knew about "sticking together" from their own experiences as did those who were selected for the supervisory roles in Korea. SRAO was set up as a component of SAF and, like SMH and SMI, maintained a national office with a director who reported to the vice president for SAF. During the months of preliminary planning for SRAO, Red Cross called on the expertise of Louise Wood who had been one of the top leaders in club service in World War II, then tapped Mary Louise Dowling to head up the program and she remained the national director of SRAO throughout its existence.
At the time of her appointment Mary Lou was a field representative with Red Cross chapters in New York state. She was a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, held a master's degree from the University of Wisconsin, and was teaching at Duke University in 1944 when she decided to join Red Cross for service overseas. She supervised clubs in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations and served in Italy as the Allies fought their way up the peninsula. After the war she worked in Service in Veterans' Hospitals until becoming a field representative. On taking the SRAO job she did not know how long the recreational program would be required. But as long as it lasted she meant to make it a quality program with the best talent that could be found and the highest standards that could be set.
To newly recruited staff arriving in Washington she was Miss Dowling, but as she made her field trips overseas to monitor the programs around the world she was Mary Lou to the staff. In a service where first names were used exclusively for supervisors and staff alike, it was another reinforcement for "sticking together". Hers was the idea that young women, 21 and
22 years old, could handle responsibilities in faraway places, that they could be competent leaders. Mary Lou, who grew older all the time, of course, never let her attitudes or her ideas grow old. She was synonymous with SRAO, the young service.
Page 19:
The bakers at all the kitchens went to work in the middle of the night to produce the doughnuts picked up by the clubmobile teams around 7 a.m. They were carried in wire baskets and covered with brown paper to keep out the dust and rain and snow, and where the girls went so, too, went the doughnut. It was not long before the GIs were calling the girls "Donut Dollies". Mary
Louise Dowling deplored the phrase. It was not the kind of recruitment slogan that Red Cross needed and Mary Lou's contention, correctly, was that club mobile service was about recreation, not about doughnuts which were snacks incidental to the program. But as the years passed it seemed to spread and even the girls referred to themselves as "DDs". They knew there was no derision intended. It was, if anything, a friendly term - as when the men in a company area, spying the approaching truck with the flapping canvas Red Cross emblem, shouted, "Here come the Donut Dollies!"
Page 145:
In the fall of 1963 Red Cross was advised by the Army that the Port Area Command at La Rochelle would be phased out early the next year. Like the Metz center, it would be open for just a year. There was no way to second guess these things, but it reinforced the Red Cross decision not to move on the requests for center at Poitiers and Tours where the Army depots were also being deactivated.
Mary Louise Dowling arrived in Europe in November for a six week visit to the centers. She was at La Rochelle when the news came of the assassination of President Kennedy. In Korea the Americans had heard the news early in the morning. In Europe it came in the evening. In the La Rochelle center a Franco-American program was in progress. It was Ann Reed's program and a
French riding club was making a presentation to a large audience.
Page 172:
Mary Louise Dowling came for a field visit, traveling throughout the country to visit the units and meet the commands. Back in Saigon, she met with the top military people and with Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker, who had served as president of the American Red Cross from 1954 through 1956 and knew the SRAO program from those early days. She was also interviewed for Armed Forces Radio. As she finished the interview and started to leave the studio, an Army sergeant came running up to her. "Say," he said, "Can I ask you a question? How come the Red Cross girls don't serve doughnuts in Vietnam?" The staff with her, who had heard the question a hundred times before, stepped outside and let her go it alone.
