Mary was employed by Cherokee Nation Industries for about 30 years before her retirement. She loved being around her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Mary lived life at her own pace, but she made an impact on those she was around. She was very serious and would always let you know the truth. She was sweet yet sassy but deep down had a heart of gold.
