Mary Married John E. Dever, Jr in 1952 in Camden, New Jersey. They moved to Illinois, Oregon and Michigan while he pursued his education. In 1967, she moved to Durango when her husband became a professor at Fort Lewis College in the Department of Biology. The marriage later ended in divorce after 19 years.

Mary felt a deep commitment and love for her children and grandchildren and was always there for them. She especially enjoyed making family memory books, scrapbooking and genealogy.
Mrs. Scott was preceded in death by her husband G.W. Scott and former husband John E. Dever, Jr. and three children, Beth Dever, and infant twin sons, Ronald and Scott Dever.
