The daughter of Virgil and Mary Jacobs Tedlock was born June 25, 1938, in Chelsea, Oklahoma. Over the next few years, Mary traveled with her family between California and Oklahoma.

After graduation, she continued her education by enrolling in business college in Bartlesville. Upon finishing school, she traveled between Arizona and Kansas before returning to Chelsea around 1968.

Several years later, she married Lon Maggard. At this point in her life, she was a stay at home mom.Taking care of her family was her main priority. Her home was always open to her children and their friends, as well as anybody who just needed to talk. It wasn't uncommon for people to just stop by and have a cup of coffee.

In her spare time, she enjoyed writing music and poetry, working large, intricate jigsaw puzzles, and watching TV. Some of her favorites were Joyce Meyer, HGTV, and the Cooking Channel.
