Her final working years were spent at the Wisconsin State Journal, before retiring in 2017. In 2003, she and Greg Newton were married at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, NV.
Mary's family was very important to her. She loved attending her grandchildren's sporting events and cheering them on as one of their biggest supporters. She also cherished the countless game nights spent with Greg, her sisters and their spouses. Mary loved decorating for every holiday and even had a shower curtain to match every season! Over the years, Greg and Mary enjoyed traveling together, including several trips to Las Vegas and many cruises. Mary always had a craft or sewing project in the works; the many beautiful scrapbooks she made will be cherished for years to come. She was also a jigsaw puzzle lover and enjoyed completing her daily crossword puzzle. In addition to her family, Mary also delighted in the many hours spent with her pets, Finn and Bella.
