The Bible itself says that it does not contain everything that Jesus did so how senseless is it to use it as the sole source to learn about his Mother?

Yeah, pretty silly really.

I was taking issue with this statement and putting it in perspective:

To be ignorant of the Scripture is not to know Christ,” said St. Jerome.[2] Could we develop this statement further and conclude: To be ignorant of the Scripture is not to know Mary, the Mother of Christ?

If you are going to equate knowing Mary to knowing Christ, I think you are missing the point of Scripture. The Catholic obsession with Mary seems out of whack, as illustrated by that above statement.

It's really silly to think that there is a source other than the bible for pertinent information about Mary and her roll in the Church.
