An early member of the National Health Federation, she was a collaborator with Adele Davis and Gladys Lindberg.

The embodiment of Christian love, compassion and humility, Mary always put others' needs before hers. Mary kept two residences, one in Hermosa Beach, Calif., and one in Augusta. Her homes were always welcoming places, always spiritual centers, and always lots of fun to visit. Mary was loved by little children, teenagers, young parents, business people, folks with hard lives, the elderly and the infirm. She always was there for them. A devout student of the Bible, with an encyclopedic mind, she and her children sang together throughout her life. She loved singing the old hymns. Mary attended church at Westside Baptist Church in Martinez, where she was a member when she went to be with the Lord. Mary also was a member of the First Baptist Church of Thomson for many years, and on the West Coast attended Rolling Hills Covenant Church in Rolling Hills, Calif.
