Born August 1, 1930, in Romulus, Michigan, Mary was the second of four children of John Kovacs and Pearl Dandy Kovacs. The family resided in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, where she attended school. She lived with her parents until she married in September 1951.

She also worked at the Navy Staff Wives on-base thrift shop until moving to Cary, NC in 2018.

Mary spent her final years in the loving care of her eldest son, Donald, and his wife Kathy, surrounded by love and family.

Mary was preceded in death by her husband, MGYSGT (Ret.) Donald H. Sutton, her sisters Pearl and Helen, brother Johnny and her parents.
