Mary, born on October 28, 1930 in Houston, MO, was the fifth child of ten to Jay and Matoe (Lilly) Gibson. Mary spent her childhood on the family farm and graduated from high school in 1948. As a young adult, she worked as a salesclerk in Fort Leonard Wood. On New Years Eve 1950 she met Bruce Thompson, of Platteville, WI on a blind date, while he was in Missouri on a survey crew.

Always a hard worker, Mary went on as a single working mother, employed for several years at Kreb’s Drug Store until it was sold. She then worked as manager of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville Bookstore. It was here she met Scott Jameson, with whom she shared a brief second marriage until they parted ways.

She was a long-time member of Saint Mary’s Catholic Church, and in her later years frequented the Platteville Senior Center for meals and activities.
