Mary was born on October 14, 1920 in Sioux City, Iowa, the daughter of Zachariah and Mary Nora Bishop. She had nine siblings.

When she was a young adult, she moved to southern California where she met and married Edwin Duncan. Together they had four children. She and Edwin moved to the foothills of northern California some sixty years ago making their home in Applegate.
Mary spent a number of years working in the school cafeteria but spent most of her time as a homemaker. She was an avid reader who always loved a good mystery or suspense novel. She was a strong, compassionate and hard working woman, a loving mother and devoted wife.

She is also survived by her five grandchildren, Christopher Duncan, Jonathon Duncan, Jeffrey Duncan,Amy Parson, Matthew Downey and three great-grandchildren, Kristen Duncan,Britney Duncan and Jessica Duncan.
