Mrs. Johnson was born on February 18, 1926 in Washington, D. C. to the late Thomas and Beatrice Jefferson. She was married to Ernest L. Johnson of King George, Virginia. Mary began her education in the public schools of Washington, D. C. which was interrupted due to the death of her mother. She eventually relocated to King George, Virginia with her father.

Mrs. Johnson's work history began with Mt. Rose Canning Company where she worked for eighteen years before going to White Packing Company, King George, Virginia where she retired.
