Mary married her beloved husband, William "Bud" Evers in September of 1929, 
and they moved to Greggton in 1931 during the oil boom. Mary and Bud had two 
daughters, Eleanor Jean and Patricia Ann. Mary worked for Nash Clothiers and 
Dr. John Wensley. After the death of her beloved husband, Bud, Mary had such 
a passion for fashion that she opened Mary's Smart Shop in 1970.

She retired in 1980 and married Milton "Dick" Page. Everyone who knew Mary 
knew she loved the Lord and that she was a loving servant and member of the 
Reel Road Church of Christ.
