Mary was born on November 8, 1922 in Green Castle, Missouri, the daughter of John Ellis Polson and Jennie Adaline (Ford) Polson. She was united in marriage to Vaughn Logsdon on April 10, 1939, and to this union, four children were born, John, Charles, Vaughn "Gene", and Robert "Bob".
Mary worked at the Box Factory in Centerville for a period of time before working for McKee Button Factory where she worked in both shells and plastic.

In her free time, Mary enjoyed gardening and taking care of her flowers. She made quilts for all of her children and grandchildren, and sewed her own clothing. Mary loved to cook, especially popcorn balls, homemade bread, apple pies and cinnamon rolls. She was always very pleasant, friendly and always smiling. She hung wallpaper, and would help wherever a helping hand was needed. Most importantly, Mary cherished her family, especially her grandchildren.
