She had a distinctive low, husky voice. According to family legend, when she was 15, Mary sang solos while a girlfriend played the organ in the otherwise empty St. Philip Church. Within a few hours, the church burned to the ground. That was March 28, 1928. Years later, Mary still blamed her voice for the disastrous fire.
