She finished her career as an operating room nurse at Kessler Memorial Hospital in Hammonton, New Jersey and Lakeview Hospital in Bountiful, Utah.

When she wasn’t working in her nursing profession, she enjoyed painting and playing golf. She was an inspiration to her children as she continued to explore other avenues of creative endeavors such as acting. Mary is remembered by all those who knew her as a kind and generous person.

Together they raised 4 amazing children.  She was predeceased by her husband of 70 years, Noel Keith Schilling Sr., and she was the last surviving member of her 8 siblings.
