In 1948 she moved to Grants Pass where she began a career as a legal secretary then went into business and started “Mary’s Antiques.” She then started buying and selling commercial and residential properties which led to a career in real estate as a broker with Century 21 and later Lewis Realty.

During her real estate years, she was a GRI graduate and a member of the Two Million Dollar Club. She started attending Parkway Christian Center in 1992 and cherished her well worn Bible, which was always by her side.
