Mary was born January 28, 1943 in Glasgow, Scotland to David Hansen Gilken White and Mary Ann (Webb) White. Mary grew up in Scotland where she received her education before traveling to Germany to work. It was in Germany she met her husband, James W. Mason whom was stationed there with the United States Army. Mary and James were married in Scotland and returned to Germany to finish her husband’s service time and traveling to the United States later. Mary was a homemaker and loved taking care of her two children, which was the joy of her life. Later Mary held several different jobs from waitressing, to cashier at a drug store to receptionist at the Stables Casino. Mary had many interests from reading great books, crossword puzzles, watching movies to fishing with her husband, and Mary loved bingo and also Santa Claus, which was her “favorite guy” next to her husband. Mary loved laughing and joking with everyone she met. A proud moment in Mary’s life was receiving her U.S. citizenship in 1973.
