She was united in marriage to Kenneth Lloyd on May 20, 2004. She and Ken enjoyed life on the lake and travelling to see grandchildren.

Mary loved to stay involved in her children's many activities and was so proud as she watched them follow their dreams and accomplish their goals. She especially loved spending time with her children and family and never missed a family reunion or holiday gathering. She was especially excited to have grandchildren.
