Mary Carman was the wife of William Floyd Carman. Her spouse had been working for Marsman, Hong Kong, China Ltd., at the time of the Japanese invasion.

They were interned at Stanley Camp and repatriated with other Americans in 1942. Prior to departure on the voyage home on the Gripsholm, the couple reunited with their son who had arrived on the Conte Verde and had been studying in Shanghai when war broke out.

Mary Carman and her husband died together in January 1952 in an unfortunate accident of carbon monoxide poisoning in their New York City apartment.
