During that time she appeared in several articles in the Austin American Statesman touting the wonderful pies she made from scratch each day. After leaving the barbeque business Mary received her real estate license and helped many Austin families find their perfect home. During that same time Mary volunteered countless hours of her time at Wee Rescue Austin. She fostered hundreds of dogs until they found their forever home. For those dogs that were seemingly unadoptable, for any reason, they always seemed to find their forever home with her.
