She graduated from Harrison High school, where she was a member of the National Honor Society, and the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls. She attended the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, where she was a Zeta Tau Alpha and a member of the Collegiate Singers. While there, she met the man with whom she would spend the rest of her life: Jerry Gusewelle. Married in 1956, the Gusewelles moved to Shreveport Louisiana, where she would give birth to their three sons, Dennis, David and Tommy. After relocating to Dallas, Texas, Mary Sue gave birth to her only daughter, Mary Ann. Jerry's job with J.C. Penney's ultimately brought them home to his birthplace of Little Rock, where he managed the University Mall store until his retirement.
