Behind every good man is a good woman. Mary DuBord would argue that oftentimes behind a good woman, there’s another good woman. Mary started her business, The Wife’s Wife, in the spring of 2017.
“My husband was trimming hedges for someone and they asked if he cleaned flower beds. He told them he doesn’t do that, but that I might,” explains Mary.
And so began The Wife’s Wife. Mary accepted early retirement in the beginning of 2017 and decided the time was right to start her own business.
“I felt the Lord was telling me to do this. My friends encouraged me to stop talking about it and actually do it,” she laughs. “My original idea was just to do painting for people, but that has evolved. I have done everything from painting, yard work, changing light bulbs, replacing door knobs, ripping carpet out. You name it, I’ve done it! And if it’s something I’ve never done before, I will learn how to do it.”
Mary’s favorite job is flower bed restoration and she’d like to help families do more estate management.
“I want to be the helping hand that people need in downsizing and sorting through their estates. People usually depend on their families to help. Adding that to the mix can cause more stress to the situation. My business is about more than just helping with odd jobs around the house, though,” says Mary. “I try to be an example of Christ in everything I do and in how I treat my clients.”
