She was her parents' youngest child, her twin sister having died at birth, and was raised by relatives after her parents died. She received almost nothing in the way of formal education. In 1930 she married Ashley Coley, a carpenter. She moved with him to Albany, Georgia, where she began training as a midwife under the tutelage of Onnie Lee Logan. Coley went on to practice across Georgia as a midwife for more than three decades. As an African American, she became an advocate for the health of Georgia's black population and was known for her willingness to work with women regardless of race in a time of segregation.〔 It is estimated that she delivered over 3,000 babies in her career,〔 and she offered additional services to families such as assistance in cooking, cleaning, childminding, laundering, and helping new parents file official forms and birth certificates.〔 She was known affectionately by her patients as "Miss Mary".〔 Coley served as President of the Women's Auxiliary in the Church of the Kingdom of God, and taught Sunday school classes.〔 She died in Albany in March 1966 after a career of over 30 years as a midwife.〔
