Mary Browning (née Mary Ireland Peyton Whiteley) was the daughter of Charles Fullerton Whiteley and Josephine Blake Peyton Whiteley. She was educated in public school and lived with her widowed mother until her marriage to Perry W. Browning. With her husband's encouragement, she realized her dream of starting a dairy farm. Beginning with four cows, over the course of 11 years she increased the size of her herd to 30 cows said to be of very good quality and health. Although her husband worked in the city and was uninvolved with the operations of the dairy, the cows were held in his name, which she often signed on official documents. She served as the treasurer of the county division of the Democratic State Central Committee and was appointed by Maryland State Governor Albert Ritchie to the Board of County Commissioners, making her the first woman in the state to hold that position. She belonged to three bridge clubs and enjoyed playing cards. The couple had three sons.
