Mary Sue had an older sister - Nancy Catherine Whipp Matthews (b. 7/28/1929 – d. 1/24/2008, age 78)<ref>[http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=66847056 Nancy Matthews]</ref> and a younger brother - Harry H.

Mary Sue attended the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Texas_at_Austin University of Texas at Austin].  She is on three pages of the University's year book - [http://sites.utexas.edu/cactus/ "Cactus Yearbook, Class of 1949"]. Mary Sue is listed in the sophomore section of the book on page 116. On page 483 she is included in the Tumble section and on page 497 she is listed in the Theadorne section of the "Women's Coopreative Association".  Incidentally, 1949 is the same year that [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Landry Tom Landry], future coach of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_Cowboys Dallas Cowboys], graduated from the University of Texas at Austin.  They may have crossed paths during their time at the university.

1951 was Mary Sue's senior year at the university.  She is listed in the senior section, page 429, of the "Cactus Yearbook, Class of 1951".  She majored in English and had activities of WICA (Women's Inter-Community Association), Touche, Tumble and the Houston Club.

=== Notes ===

The "Women's Inter-Community Association" was an organization of independent (non-Greek) women students similar to the organization for men (see MICA). Both groups faded out in the late 1950's.

MICA (Men's Inter-Community Association) was organized in 1937. It was organized for social, religious, and athletic benefit of non-fraternity men.

When I was around the London Org in the 1950's Mary Sue Hubbard was a well known name.  I did not see much of her and that is really no surprise, for Ron traveled usually twice a year between London and Washington, and Mary Sue would have been fairly busy giving birth to and looking after four children – Arthur being born in Great Britain.

Things were different in the 60's.  I joined Saint Hill Staff in 1964 and Mary Sue worked hard there and you would see her walking nimbly around from time to time.  At one time I worked in mimeo, and Mary Sue was responsible for Financial Planning for Saint Hill (which seemed to run very well in those days).  Once a month I got a bundle of things I should run off and managed to get them done within the month.  I conceived the idea that we ought to go in for offset printing. I researched the subject pretty thoroughly and prepared an application to financial planning for the purchase of such a machine (a Gestetner).  Such an application was called a CSW (Completed Staff Work) and should contain all the details necessary for Financial Planning to make a decision.  I got a commendation from Mary Sue for my CSW.

Years went by. I got thrown out of the "Church", joining the growing number of Ex-"Church" members, who kept communication going, and we learnt that Mary Sue had died some years previously.  No announcement was made to members of the organisation that her husband had founded and led  and she had served industriously for many years, and it fell to the lot of an amateur investigative journalist amongst us "freed Scientologists" to look through death certificates and find Mary Sues death certificate. The news of here unannounced death went round freed Scientologists quickly and it was not long before a memorial page was put up for Mary Sue, and you can see it at http://marysuehubbard.com.

<small>A personal note: It makes my blood boil (metaphorically, luckily) to see Hubbard's wife and long term ardent supporter made a non person by the "Church". Completely in opposition to the original spirit of Scientology and free communication. A sure sign of a decadent organisation</small>. <br>[[Antony A Phillips]]
