She was the only child of Ronal and Ruth Kayser, born December 25th, 1948 in La Jolla, California. She moved to Chambersburg in 1969, graduated from Shippensburg State College and became a teacher in French, German, and English until her retirement in 2009 from Tuscarora School District. Her parents died in the previous century, and she is survived only by her spouse of 25 years, Stephen Osmanski.

In her later years Mary became interested in historical reenactment and earned many awards for her work, especially as a reporter and editor for an event newspaper, the Pennsic Independent, with a two-week daily circulation of over 10,000. There will be a memorial service to commemorate Mary's life, to be held at Sellers Funeral Home, on Monday, August 23, 2021 at 430 pm.
