      Mary was born February 6, 1936 in Wyandotte, Oklahoma and is the daughter of the late James Preston Roberts and the late Malinda (Davis) Roberts. Mary was proud of her heritage as a member of the Seneca-Cayuga Nation and is a direct descendant of Lewis Davis and Kah-De-Haw Young both of whom survived the Trail of Tears from Ohio to Indian Territory (Oklahoma) in 1832. Her father hailed from a long line of settlers in rural Eastern Kentucky. Mary grew up in Northeast Oklahoma and graduated from Wyandotte High School in Wyandotte, Oklahoma. On February 7, 1957 Mary married the love of her life, Dwight E. Chaney, in Miami, Oklahoma. During their marriage of 64 years, Mary and Dwight lived in Oklahoma, Arizona, California, and Florida and raised two sons, Christopher B. Chaney and G. Tyler Chaney. Mary worked as a homemaker, a dental assistant, and in the real estate industry. During retirement, Dwight and Mary lived in Sun City West, Arizona and in Spring Hill, Florida; they enjoyed travelling to visit family and friends.
