She graduated from Manuel High School in Indianapolis. On June 8, 1952 she married the love of her life, Edward “Eddie” Schmidt who preceded her in death in 1990.

She also worked at Western Electric for several years. Mary Ellen loved sewing and craft making, especially making seasonal outfits for her two concrete ducks.
