Mary Williams was born at Gundagai Hospital in April 1952. Her mother was Stella Little Freeman and her father was Harold Boodgie Freeman, both from Yass. She spent most of her life at Brungle Mission in a house built by her father from tin collected from the tips and poles from stringy bark trees. Her mother swept the dirt floors with a broom she'd made from oak bush and put sheep dip in the water as a disinfectant.
