Mary was born around February 5, 1881 in Bucharest, Romania. The All the rest of the Rincovers were supposedly born in Galati, which is north of Bucharest, so we don't know why Mary might have born in Bucharest.

Moise (Morris) Donnenfield was born around August 21, 1886 in Romania (probably Iasi / Jassy).

Mary and Morris immigrated to Toronto, Canada separately, but met there and married about 1906 - 1908.

Between 1908 and 1913, they had four children: Isidore (Don), Lazar (Lou), Clara, and Betty.

In 1907, Morris and his brother Joseph had a printing business in Toronto, but by 1920 they had started a factory in nearby Buffalo, NY which manufactured ladies' shirtwaists, or blouses of the early 1900's.

On January 25, 1920, Morris died of pneumonia and exhaustion, leaving his wife with the four small children. She moved to Buffalo for a time to be closer to the factory, but in the 1930's decided to follow her sister Sadie out to Los Angeles.

She raised her children there, and never remarried.
