During her early life she was professionally employed by the U.S. Corps of Engineers in Chicago, Ill. and in the Philippine Islands where she met her future husband at Camp O'Donnell (the end of the infamous death march during the Japanese invasion). Following a four year tour of duty in Alaska prior to its Statehood, Colonel and Mrs. Mason settled at their farm, 'Marl Hill', in King William County while Colonel Mason served as Inspector General for the State of Virginia. It was during that time that they became fosterparents and godparents. They were very active in county affairs involving youth activities and the restoration of little St. David's Episcopal Church.

The Kinderheim sheltered orphaned and displaced children from labor and internment camps in the war zones. For this she was the first American woman to be decorated by the Polish Guard with the "Polish Badge of Honor". In October 1962, she was chosen "U.S. Lady of the Month" by the publication U.S. Lady. Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy was among the distinguished board of judges. Upon their return to the U.S., Mrs. Mason resumed her work with local community, youth and church activities. She served as volunteer director of Upper King William County Youth Center and a term as President of the Women's Club.
