Mary enjoyed playing cards, spending time with her family, and going out with friends. She grew up a farmers daughter on Route 36 in Metcalf. She had many chores when she was young that included drying dishes, gathering eggs, and getting corn cobs to be used for heat. She always remembered the year that they got electricity which was in 1941. She told stories of having to drive to get ice to keep their food cold and taking eggs to town to sell.

Mary met Harold when she was 15 and they later eloped to Georgetown. After they were married, Mary and Harold moved to Wisconsin and worked on a dairy farm. Later, they moved to Cherry Point and worked on area farms. Mary and Harold would then move to Oakwood and live until 1965, when they decided to move back to Metcalf to the family farm.
