She was the co-owner of Allison Memorial Chapel of St. Marys, and Chapman Funeral Chapel of Brunswick. In her young adult years, she was an avid soft ball player for her favorite team, Chapman's Garage, and enjoyed bowling well into to her 50s, with the Bowlarena's Monday Nite Mixed League, (where she bowled a perfect 300 game), and Tuesday Morning Coffee League, where she bowled in numerous tournaments throughout the Southeast. She was very active with B.P.O. Elks 691, Ladies Auxiliary, holding every office on a local and state level. Mary had lived in St. Marys, for the past 15 years, operating the family business, Allison Memorial Chapel, with her husband and daughters. She also owned Salt River Antiques, and the St. Marys Antique Mall. She enjoyed a good road trip, and spending time with her friends, however, spending time with her grandchildren was her most favorite.
