Mary was born November 15, 1929, in Poplar Bluff, MO, to Frank McKinley Digges and Augusta March Miller.

Mary graduated from Mackay High School and later moved to Clayton where her mother and step-father lived. This is where she met her future husband, Richard "Dick" Settles. They were married in June, 1950 and three children were born of this union. They lived in Mackay for a couple of years and then moved back to Clayton where they raised their family. They later divorced in 1975.
