She learned the value of hard work, making sacrifices and above all else, the importance of family. She attended school at Osceola and Midland College in Fremont Nebraska. Her sister introduced her to Howard James Lukassen and on May 26,1951 they were married at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Kimball. Mary taught at a rural school in the county for several years. Beside Howard, they farmed and raised a family of 6 children. Once the children were grown she was employed at Kimball High School and the Kimball Senior Center as a Certified Dietician. As a devoted member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church for over 69 years,she was a big part of the Altar Society. She had a talent for quilting, and exhibited them at the county fair.

She spent countless hours doing volunteer work in the community. Mary enjoyed baking and was famous for her pies but was also known as the "Cinnamon Roll Queen".
