Mary Sue Hubbard was L Ron Hubbard's confidant and third wife, mother of four of his children and a fierce defender of her husband and the movement he created.
Early Years
Mary Sue Whipp was born June 17, 1931 to Harry Hughes Whipp (b. 9/2/1893 - d. 10/30/1942, age - 49)[1] and Mary Catherine (Hill) Whipp (b. 10/8/1898 – d. 12/29/1983, age 85)[2] in Cameron, Milam County, Texas, United States. Mary Sue had an older sister - Nancy Catherine Whipp Matthews (b. 7/28/1929 – d. 1/24/2008, age 78)[3] and a younger brother - Harry H. Whipp, M.D (b. 9/20/1934 – d. 5/1/2011, age 76)[4].
When Mary Sue was eleven, her father (a manager at a Sears and Robuck store in Houston) passed away at their home [5].
Mary Sue attended the University of Texas at Austin, the same university her mother attended [6]. She is on three pages of the University's year book - "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 Tom Landry, future coach of the 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.

Testimonial
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 HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R)
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 HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) (which seemed to runUndergo processing. (Science of Survival, p.75) very well in those days). Once a month I got a bundle of things I should runUndergo processing. (Science of Survival, p.75) 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 planningFinancial planning means - how to handle the money and assets of an org so as to maintain outgo below income. (HCO PL 26 Nov 65R) ''Abbr.'' FP for the purchase of such a machine (a Gestetner). Such an application was called a CSWAbbreviation for "Completed Staff Work". An assembled package of information on any given situation, plan or emergency forwarded to me sufficiently complete to require from me only an "approved" or "disapproved". (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). (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 CSWAbbreviation for "Completed Staff Work". An assembled package of information on any given situation, plan or emergency forwarded to me sufficiently complete to require from me only an "approved" or "disapproved". (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976)..
Years went by. I got thrown out of the "Church", joining the growing number of Ex-"Church" members, who kept communication1. the consideration and action of impelling an impulse or particle from source point across a distance to receipt point with the intention of bringing into being at the receipt point a duplication and understanding of that which emanated from the source point. (HCOB 5 Apr 73)...more 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.
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 communication1. the consideration and action of impelling an impulse or particle from source point across a distance to receipt point with the intention of bringing into being at the receipt point a duplication and understanding of that which emanated from the source point. (HCOB 5 Apr 73)...more. A sure sign of a decadent organisation.
