Life Maria Stona was born Marie Stonawski on 1 December 1859 in Třebovice, Austrian Silesia (now the Czech Republic). She was a daughter of Joseph Stonawski, who bought the Třebovice Castle (German: Strebowitz) in 1859, and his wife Marie Prymus from Soběšovice in Cieszyn Silesia. She used the first two syllables of her birth name, Stonawski, as her pseudonym Maria Stona. In 1881, Maria married Dr. jur. Albert Scholz, a son of Alois Scholz (1821–1883), the director of the steel works of Vítkovice mining and metallurgical trade union in Moravia-Ostrava. The couple lived from 1881 to 1888 in Chropyně in Moravia, where their daughter Helen Zelezny-Scholz was born on 16 August 1882. The marriage to Albert Scholz lasted until 1899. Maria Stona most likely had a second marriage to the writer, editor and art critic Charles Erasmus Kleinert (1837–1933). In 1933, Maria Stona published a tribute to his life: An Old Austrian - Charles Erasmus Kleinert. His life and his works were published by Adolf Drechsler, Opava in Silesia.

She actively participated in the cultural life of the town – she visited exhibits and the theatre, but mainly she supported artists. In this way the château in Třebovice became a cultural centre where artists and the intelligentsia of various nations gathered. Stonawská-Scholzová bountifully hosted and supported local artists regardless of nationality, and eagerly introduced young artists to the public. The list of important personalities who stayed at Třebovice includes writer Baroness Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, noted Austrian prose writer Stefan Zweig, the Nobel Peace Prize winner Bertha von Suttner, writer Subhas Chandra Bose doctor and writer Karl Schönherr, the writer and journalist Paul Keller, the Danish literary critic Georg Brandes, and personalities of political life.
