Mahala's father is unknown. The father of her older sister, Mary Catherine, was Gideon Ison. But there is nothing confirmed as to Mahala's father.

Mahala grew up on Cowan Creek in Whitesburg, Letcher County. She graduated from Berea College in Madison County, Kentucky in 1910. After graduating from college, she married Jesse Monroe Gray on October 26, 1910. It is unclear how she and Jesse met, since Jesse was raised in Dallas, Texas. It is presumed that she and Jesse met while at college, but this has not been confirmed. By 1910, Mahala was living in Dallas. She lived the rest of her life in Dallas, but she visited her beloved Letcher County a few times in the 1940s and 1950s.

The cemetery's Interment Record states that she is the second wife of Jesse M. Gray, but this is incorrect. She was the first and only wife of Jesse M. Gray.
