After graduating from Mora High School in 1943, Mary attended a 6-month business school in Santa Fe, NM. Mary was employed by the University of California as a stenographer and secretary in the purchasing department supporting the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos, NM from 1943 until 1948.

Pedro and Mary married in 1948, and made their first home in Las Vegas, NM. They welcomed their first born daughter Teresa, followed by Marta, two twin boys born prematurely and deceased, Anna and Rita. Although her preference would have been to remain a homemaker, circumstances required outside employment. She worked in Las Vegas, NM and in Santa Fe for the State of NM from 1949-1954.

She also enjoyed traveling to California, Boston and Denver to visit her daughters. Mary had many dear friends she remained in close contact with throughout her life. Mary loved to visit her friends and family. She kept her mind sharp through interest in politics and current events. In her later years, word-search puzzles and watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune were favorite pastimes. Mary loved to nurture others, either by words, warm hugs or by preparing and serving her delicious, home-cooked nutritious meals. She will be remembered for her courageous, kind, gentle and generous spirit. We love you, we will miss you and we will be reunited one day, eternally.
