After graduating from Huron Senior High School (1979), she attended SPBC/Crown College and later earned a Medical Transcription Diploma from Penn Foster Online School.
After college, Mary moved to Washington State where she married her best friend, David Allen Clark, on April 12, 1986. They lived in Marysville for their first five years and in the Yakima area the rest of their married life. She was active in her local church with nursery, choir, AWANA, youth leader, Bible studies, small groups, and worked several jobs in the secretarial field. When she could no longer work, she was able to stay home and raise their family. She was a football and baseball fan (Seattle Seahawks/Mariners), loved being a grandma, setting puzzles, listening to music, and quilting.
Mary is survived by her husband, David, daughters Carissa of Wapato, WA, Christina of Newark, DE, DaVena of Everett, WA; son Benjamin of Newark, DE, two grandchildren, her mother, three sisters, three brothers, plus numerous nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her father and one sister.
