Mavis was born in Haskell, Ok on September 1, 1919 to parents Glenn Keeney and Virginia Mathews Keeney. She graduated from Boynton High School, then attended OSU. Following her marriage to David Charles Bacon on September 10, 1940 in Stillwater, OK, they lived in Dallas, TX while Charles was in the training program for TEXACO. During World War II, they lived in Dallas, Cambridge, MA and San Diego, CA. Charles was called up to serve in the Korean Conflict and the family was stationed in Hawaii for 2 years.
