According to Mary's grandchildren, Mary (McDermott) Ryan and Helen (Hanrahan) McDonald, Mary (Shannon) McDermott ran for mayor of Charlotte in the 1920s. Helen said her grandmother was against liquor and wanted to get rid of some of Charlotte's taverns.

Mary was also known as Mame or Mamie, according to the impressions of her granddaughter Mary (McDermott) Ryan. That fits pretty well because the caption to a photograph of Patrick and Julia Shannon and all their kids labels her as ``Mame McD.'' in the version of the caption handed down to Dennis Nicklaus.

Mary was ill for three years before her death.
