Mary Winchester, born on October 5, 1954, in Lawrence, Kansas, is a pivotal character in the American dark fantasy drama television series Supernatural. As the matriarch of the Winchester family, she is the mother of Sam and Dean Winchester and the wife of John Winchester. Despite her limited screen time, Mary plays a crucial role in the series as a skilled hunter and a loving mother who sacrifices her life to protect her sons.

Growing up in a family of hunters, Mary was trained from a young age by her parents, Samuel and Deanna Campbell, to fight supernatural creatures. She quickly became known for her bravery and skill, earning her a reputation as a gifted hunter. Mary attended Stanford University, where she studied pre-law and graduated with honors in 1976.

After college, Mary joined the Men of Letters, a secret society of hunters, where she worked for several years hunting supernatural creatures and protecting the innocent. In 1983, she met fellow hunter John Winchester, and the two fell in love and got married. Together, they had two sons, Dean and Sam. After Sam’s birth, Mary retired from hunting to focus on raising her family.

Throughout her career as a hunter, Mary has killed numerous supernatural creatures and has been a talented researcher, helping the Men of Letters track down and destroy many powerful artifacts. She has received several awards for her work, including the Men of Letters Medal of Honor in 1982 and the Samuel Colt Award for Valor in 1984.

In addition to her hunting skills, Mary is a skilled cook who loves to bake and a talented artist who enjoys painting and drawing. She is a strong and independent woman, always willing to fight for what she believes in. Mary is also a close friend of Bobby Singer, another fellow hunter.

In 2023, Mary Winchester was resurrected by the Men of Letters and has since rejoined the fight against supernatural creatures, working alongside her sons, Dean and Sam. Determined to make up for lost time, Mary is eager to help her sons save the world from the forces of darkness.
