Mary Margaret McCann was born on May 4, 1895 to Thomas and Sarah [Pennington] McCann of New Castle, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. Her middle name, "Margaret," is gleaned from a list of the 1917 graduates that was published in the Pittsburgh Press on May 23, 1917.

In July 1920, Mary married Manuel Garcia, a civil engineer. They lived in Havanna, Cuba, and according to notes in newspapers, they spent a month in New Orleans, and at some point, lived in Texas, as well as Cleveland, Ohio. They had no children, and Manuel died suddenly in 1929. He is buried at St. Mary's Cemetery, New Castle.

On November 23, 1942, Mary married Culley J. Trickel, and they made their home in Baker, Oregon. Culley died in Baker in 1972, and Mary died there on January 14, 1980.
