Mary was born in Agency, Missouri and grew up on a farm there. She loved the farm life where she learned to work tirelessly. Her heart really never left the farm although she moved away when she married Max while he was in college. They moved to Little Rock in 1940.

Mary soon became a member of the Sylvan Hills Methodist church where she anchored her life for the next 57 years. She was active in all the activities involving the ladies of the church. She loved cooking, sewing, and making things for other people. She always volunteered to serve and help others and spent much of her time assisting and encouraging family, friends, neighbors, or anyone else she met.

She died following a lengthy battle with Alzheimer?s disease which disabled her for the final few years of her life.
