Mary was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on July 23, 1916. Her and her family moved around frequently as her father was minister of the church. Mary graduated from Brandon College in 1938 - worked for the Federal Department of Agriculture in the Seed Testing Lab in Winnipeg during the winter, alternating with the Entomology Lab in Brandon during their busy season in the summer. As war production was stepped up, Mary left the Seed Lab in favour of the Control Lab at the munitions plant in Transcona. It was during this time that Ed and Mary were married in 1943. Ed was still a medical student and Mary was making Cordite. After Ed was discharged from the army, the McTavish's moved to Alberta.
