On Sept. 10, 1935, she married Wilmer Kessler at St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church, Ste. Marie. After their marriage, they resided on a farm between Ste.

Wilmer preceded Mary in death on June 20, 1981. Mary married Clive Logan of Edgewood, in September of 1984, and he preceded her in death in January of 1994. Mary lived her last 10 years at Newton Rest Haven Nursing Home. She always had a smile and everyone that knew Mary loved her. She had a heart filled with compassion and caring for everyone.
