Upon completion of her early education in Goodwill, she relocated to Kingston where she pursued and completed her early training in nursing and midwifery at the University College of the West Indies Hospital. She migrated to England in 1954 and joined the staff of the Hammersmith Hospital in London where she completed her training as a Registered Nurse. Later, she joined the staff of the Parson's Green Maternity Hospital in London. While in England, she met and married her husband Vernal, who predeceased her. The union produced two boys, Carlton and Nigel. During this period, Mary was extremely active in her church, the Fulham Baptist Church. Mary moved back to Jamaica for a brief period in 1964, and then relocated to New York in 1967, where she joined the staff of Beth Israel Hospital in Manhattan, where she worked until her retirement in 1989.
