Mae was born on the 24th of October 1933, in Elkins, WV to Dr. and Mrs. Richard Bosworth Talbott (Thelma).
Mae was the most wonderful and loving aunt anyone could ever ask for. She is survived by her sister-in-law, Mavis Norris Talbott, her nephews: Rich Talbott (Christie) and John (Lisa) Talbott of Berkeley County, WV; and nieces:Stacy Talbott (Minh Truong) of Winchester, VA; and Nancy Boles (John) of Carolina Beach, NC; and a grandniece, Sarah Koppenhaver (Kyle) of Martinsburg, WV; as well as nine additional grandnieces and nephews, eight great-grand nieces and nephews, and one great-great nephew.
Mae will always be lovingly remembered as the aunt who loyally showed up for every sporting event, wedding, graduation, and baby’s birth. She may not have had children of her own, but she sure loved us all as if we were her own and we were super lucky to have had her as our dearly beloved Aunt Mae.
Mae was a graduate of Martinsburg High School’s Class of 1952, earned her undergraduate from WVU, and her Master’s degree in Library Science from Florida State University. She retired in 1999 from the Washington County Free Library, Hagerstown, MD, after 38 years of service as a reference librarian. She had a lifelong passion for genealogy, which she would be glad to know was finally and successfully passed on to others in her tutelage. She was a member of the Washington County Genealogical Society, Shenandoah Valley Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the WV State Society of the Daughters of the American Colonists, and Colonial Dames. She was also a member of the Trinity Episcopal Church, Martinsburg, WV.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Dr. Richard Bosworth Talbott and Bertha “Thelma” (Butt) Talbott; and her brother, Lt. Col. Richard Butt Talbott, USMC, Ret..
A celebration of Mae’s life will be held at Rosedale Funeral Home on Thursday May 16, 2024 at 12 pm with Interment in Rosedale Cemetery, followed by a reception at Rosedale Chapel. All friends and family are welcome.
