After graduating from Claremont High in 1943, Mary got her Physical Therapist degree and worked with hospitals in Los Angeles helping those in need, especially the wounded returning from overseas. She met James (Jim) Watt on a blind date in 1945, and they were married in Claremont on March 30, 1947. They moved to Berkeley, CA, where Jim went to school on the GI Bill. Jim's business career took them from California to Minnesota, back to California, and again back to Minnesota. After Jim's death in 1980, Mary returned to Southern California, before moving to Salt Lake City in 1996, where she came to enjoy and appreciate all that Utah has to offer.
Mary is survived by her son, Charles, and his wife, Kathy, of Raleigh, NC; her daughter, Joan and her husband Warren, of Salt Lake City; and daughter, Judith, and her husband David, of Sutter Creek, CA; her grandchildren, Kasey, Ben, Tyler, Sandy, James, and Thomas; her sister, Betty Sue Turman; her sisters-in-law, Jean I. Robinson and Bea Melvin; and many nieces and nephews.
