Mary and Buddy were married for 55 years.
Mary worked as the secretary for the family business, Cobb Electric, for over 40 years before retiring in 2006.
Mary enjoyed going deer hunting with Buddy to Wyoming for many years. Out of all the men Mary hunted with, she held the record for shooting the largest buck for many years, which she displayed with pride in their home.
Mary and Buddy were very involved in the India Shrine and the Oriental Band. She was the seamstress for the band, hand-sewing and altering most of their costumes. Over the years, they enjoyed traveling to many parades with the band. They did a lot of traveling and went on a great number of cruises with their friends to the Caribbean.
