Other places where she served were St. Mary, Janesville, WI; St. Francis, Ottawa, IL; Assumption Grotto, Detroit, MI; and Urban Day, Milwaukee. After moving to Racine in 1998 she worked in the Retreat Department at Siena Center. She continued to frame many pictures for the Retreat Department Book Store in her later years.

Sister Mary is survived by the Racine Dominican Sisters and Associates; her brothers James (Karen) and George (Jean) Vaughn; sisters Ruth Ann Corley and Sharon Macia; nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents; and her brothers Gerald, Charles, John and Harold Vaughn and sisters Ora Jean Moeller, Catherine Eschbach, Karen Lovelady and her twin Marilynne Trobee.
