Backstory[]
Mary was a hunter along with her family. She began dating John Winchester in the 1970s.

In the prologue taking place in 1983, Mary comes across Azazel in her baby son Sam's room. When she tries to intervene, the demon pins her to the ceiling and sets her on fire, which is witnessed by her husband John. John escapes the burning house with their two sons Sam and Dean.

However the archangel Michael possesses John and kills Anna to stop her changing events, and proceeds to wipe John and Mary's memories so they wouldn't remember the incident. This devastates Dean, as he had previously warned Mary not to enter Sam's bedroom in 1983, meaning her fate was sealed and that she would end up dying.
