Her parents and sister died early in her life, forcing her to become a servant.

Famous quotes containing the words mary and/or warren:
“Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And every where that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go;
He followed her to school one day—
That was against the rule,
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.”

“I didn’t know God made honky-tonk angels.”
—William Warren (1918–1992)
