Mary Louise Kremer was born May 5, 1946, on the family farm near Lamont, Iowa, the daughter of Peter and Marcella Kremer. In 1964 she graduated from Lamont High School. Mary was united in marriage to Gary Lee Schweitzer on November 28, 1964, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Lamont. To this union were born two children, Mark and Lisa. The family farmed northeast of Winthrop from 1964 until Gary retired in 2007. Mary enjoyed the farm, tending flowers, planting fruit trees, and watching wildlife. She was an avid learner and took great pride in her ability to fix things for herself.
