She married Gardner E. Blossom, in 1942 and began their lives in Hudson, Michigan. Mary and Gardner began working for Chrysler full time while still ensuring her family was well cared for. Over the next 11

years the couple welcomed four sons Into their home. Mary set about teaching them love and respect.
