She was born Mary Elizabeth Zingaro on December 30, 1931, in New York City to Mary (Thibodeau) and Dr. Angelo Zingaro. Together with her parents, brother Arthur, sister Lois, aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins, she grew up in a large family full of love in New York City and Newtown, Connecticut.

Together they raised their family in Scarsdale, New York, before relocating to Denver in 1975, when Bob took a position as General Manager of KWGN television station. 

After raising her children, Mary returned to school and earned a second degree, a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Metropolitan State College of Denver. She ran her own successful bookkeeping and tax services business for over 30 years.
