In 1946, after WWII, she married her returning war hero, Leo J. Rush Jr.. For the next few years she moved with Leo as his company would transfer him from location to location. They finally settled down in Lindsay, Oklahoma and she started working as a secretary for an insurance company. She worked there for the next several years until Leo retired and they moved to Madill, Oklahoma. She lived in Madill until after her husband passed away and with declining heath she moved one last time to Fairview to be close to her son Mike. Mary enjoyed cooking, crocheting and scrapbooking.
