Mary worked for her father at his dental lab in downtown Coeur d'Alene and after his passing she went on to work at The Manor House Restaurant and Merrills Cafe. She spent several summers working at Yellowstone National Park which she said was her favorite job and one of her favorite places. Once she decided not to return to Yellowstone she worked at the Flamingo Motel & The Shilo Inn for several years before retiring. Mary loved animals but always had a special place in her heart for cats, she loved to read, chocolate was her favorite treat, she never forgot a birthday, she liked playing Yahtzee with her mothers and could add the dice before they hit the table.
