Mary was born November 13, 1929 in Rhinelander, Wisconsin to John and Effie Schwartz. She attended Rhinelander High School. She worked at a Red Owl grocery store, where she met William (Bill) Scott, a WWII veteran, who was also employed at Red Owl. The two were married July 5, 1947, and began to grow their family of five children the following year. The young couple resided in Wisconsin, before moving the family to Urbandale, Iowa in 1964.

Mary was employed in Customer Service for Hy-Vee grocery and the Dahl's grocery throughout her working years. She was a social being, and enjoyed fun times with many friends and family. After retirement Mary and Bill began a hobby of creating wooden crafts. They attended numerous craft shows where they sold the items Bill created and Mary painted. The two also traveled throughout the United States and saw countless beautiful sights together in our wonderful country. Mary had a beautiful smile and steely blue eyes that lit up when she was happy. She was spunky, feisty, stubborn and lots of fun. She will be missed by all who knew her.
