Mary attended the Durham School for the beginnings of her education and later attended the Elkins School and then Peabody School in Fayetteville.
Mary and Jimmy delivered the Northwest Arkansas Times newspaper in the Elkins area for 52 years. She always tried to send cards or a gift for the events of the families she delivered newspapers to. All of the kids knew how to roll, rubber band, bag, and throw a newspaper.
There was nothing Mary could not do. She sewed, knitted, crocheted, gardened, and cooked the best foods. Her fried chicken, strawberry shortcake, German chocolate cake and pie crust were favorites with the family. Mary loved taking care of her family and her home. Jim and Mary traveled to many places in the United States and Europe during their marriage.
