She was born in Dorchester County on February 5, 1918 to Walter F. and Phila Rumbley who preceded her in death.

The family moved to Newtown, Pennsylvania where she attended schools through her teenage years.   The family then moved to Baltimore, where she met Harold Mason, Jr. who she married on September 29, 1943.  That union lasted 60 years, until his death in 2004.
