She also met the love of her life, Fred Vickers.  In 1957 they married and made their home in Arcadia California and had three children: Elizabeth, Tim and John. In 1974, they relocated to Colorado Springs, Colorado where they lived until Fred's passing in 2009.

A life-long devout Lutheran, Mary was active at her church, CanSurmount, Meals on Wheels, Little League, PTA, and Scouts. What she most enjoyed was family. She built an idyllic loving home for her family, and became a second mom to many neighborhood children and many others.

Mary and Fred had a wide circle of friends. As Empty-Nesters, they enjoyed entertaining, weekly date nights, and traveling. They were devoted grandparents and greatly enjoyed spending time with their adult children and grandchildren through the years.
