She worked at Crompton where she met and fell in love with Glenn W. Thompson, Sr. and they were married in April 1974.

Prior to retirement, she was employed by Rio Distribution where she worked as a secretary for many years. Mary was a member of Valley Covenant Church of God, Waynesboro, and was saved in October 1951. She was a woman of deep faith and read a daily devotional every day.
