She attended school in Evergreen School in Kilwining and the Prince Albert Business College. In 1942, she met Peter Tycholiz and they were married November 14, 1943.

She enjoyed working until her retirement in 1990. Mary devoted her life to her family but nothing exceeded her strong belief, love and devotion to God. She was actively involved in all aspects of church life at St. Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Meath Park and St. George's in Prince Albert where she was a lifetime member of UCWL for well over 50 years. She was very instrumental with Peter in the formation and continuance of the choirs in both parishes. Mary enjoyed the fabulous Christmas and family get-togethers where it was not unusual to serve 40+ relatives & friends in her home. She was a wonderful cook and everyone will remember her delicious meals of perogies, cabbage rolls and all the traditional trimmings. She always gave a helping hand to all people in- need whenever the time arose. She was predeceased by her loving husband, Peter in 1986; her daughter, Carol Anne in infancy; her parents, Paul & Sophie Skokum; her extended family, John & Theckla Skokum, Anne & Joe Feschuk, Mary & Louis Pender, Nellie & Mike Ewashko, Katie & Ed Semchuk, John Tycholiz, Paul Sass, Mike Rogozinski, and Peter Prystai.
