Mary Frances was born to David Fisk and Elizabeth Trulock. She took operatic voice training in Chicago before she met her husband. Mame and her husband W.T. had a large family of about 15 children, including at least: Frank, Louis "Louie" Carl, Aletha "Lea," Velma, Daisy, Sylvia, Clarence, William Noyes, Doris, Alene, Roy, Ralph, Frances Marjorie, and Robert "Bob." A touching and well written story can be read about Mame and her family in her daughter Lea's small book from 1984, "My Heart Remembers." Pages 1-14 feature "This... My Mother," and tell about her mother's background and some of her family's life in Regina. It is under the author's name of Aletha Rogers Palmer, and can be found in the Saskatchewan Provincial Library. Daughter Lea said about her mother, "She was always wishing for another set of hands, as who wouldn't, with 15 children. But the ones she had were so capable - she created a happy lived-in home." The family owned a summer cottage at Regina Beach, to which she and W.T. moved when William retired in 1929. That surely gave her some peace as her health failed in her last years.
She shares a memorial marker with her husband.

From the Regina “Leader-Post,” Wed., Mar 15, 1933, p. 9 (Second Section Evening), col. 3:
