During World War II, she traveled to Arizona, taking a job as a telephone operator for military service personnel calling home to their loved ones. On the way back home to Pennsylvania, she met her husband to be, Blaine, a returning veteran. Mary’s pride and joy was her devoted son, Roy, with whom she made her home.
