Mary Elizabeth Weaver was born on April 1, 1915[1] in Missouri. Her mother died when she was eighteen months old and Crowley lived with her grandparents on a farm in Missouri for five years, before moving back with her father and stepmother, but later moving back with her grandparents. Years later, during depths of the Great Depression, Crowley was divorced (her first husband was Carter), with two children, Don and Ruth. Crowley got a job in Dallas, Texas and attended Southern Methodist University in the evenings. She worked in sales at Stanley Home Products in home accessories.
In 1957, Mary C. Crowley founded Home Interiors and Gifts. Crowley's business was one of which that sold directly to customers through a home party plan.
By 1962, Crowley and her daughter Ruth were running Home Interiors & Gifts, Inc., when the company's sales reached its first million dollars.
In 1977, Crowley was one of twenty business owners invited to meet President Jimmy Carter in the White House.
When the company celebrated its 20th anniversary with a three-day gathering attended by the company's top 10,000 saleswomen, it included celebrities including Bob Hope and Billy Graham. At the time, Crowley was said to be earning $1 million annually. According to the Texas Monthly, the "millionairess" owned "a Dallas mansion, two Lear jets, and a Colorado mountain retreat."
By 1983, sales had grown to be $400 million, and Crowley's business had become a multi-million -dollar corporation, and one of the largest direct sales home furnishing operations in America. Crowley became the first woman to serve on the Dallas Chamber of Commerce.
In 1986, after Crowley died, her son Donald J. Carter became CEO and president of the corporation, and in 1994, Carter agreed to sell the company to Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst for over $850 million. www.wikipedia.org
