Mary was a homemaker but had worked for a time at the Naval Ammunitions Department in Oklahoma where she was a bomb maker. Her life revolved around her children and she gave them all a great deal of love and fond memories. As she started having grandchildren she would spend her time enjoying being a grandmother.
