McDougal. She was educated at the Avery Coonley School, the Chicago Latin School, Putney School in Putney VT, and at Vassar College, where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1946. She received a Masters in English Literature from the University of Chicago. On April 18, 1953, she married R. Ogden Hannaford with whom she had two children, Blake and Katharine W. (Kitty). She taught English at the Francis W. Parker School in Chicago in the early 1950's and also at Wright Junior College and the University of Illinois at Chicago in the 1960's.

A talented musician and poet, Mary played the cello for many years.

A memorial service is planned for a future date in Chicago. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Francis W. Parker School, 330 West Webster Ave., Chicago, IL 60614
