Mary moved from the Navy into security work for Mitre Corporation in their security division. She worked there until the illness that later claimed her also forced her to retire. Nonetheless, she kept up the fond friendships she had developed, such that she was invited to the annual Christmas party at Mitre for years after she had to leave work.
Mary spent the subsequent years not as a sailor but as a warrior. She fought cancer with fortitude and faith. Her doctors were inevitably impressed with her ability to meet the next unfavorable finding and beat it repeatedly. The options ran out before she did.
Mary has been a member of the Marine Memorial/Breakwater Community Church for approximately 15 years. Mary had a very deep faith in God, her faith was the source of her strength. Mary enjoyed music, reading, books and spending time with family. Mary is survived by her son Robert Wheeler, her ex-husband Les Wheeler, Sisters Peg Harris and Karen Anderson, her brother Jeff Anderson and mother, Winifred Anderson. Mary was pre-deceased by her father, Garen Anderson.
