Veda Mae Treadaway

Veda “Mae” Treadaway, age 91, entered into eternal peace on Friday, September 4, 2015. Mae went peacefully with her loving niece Vicke Schneider by her side. Mae was born on April 7, 1924 in Ozark, Alabama, daughter of James and Beulah Wallace.

Coming from a family of farmers she worked in a cotton mill picking cotton and also picked and shelled peanuts. Mae and her beloved husband Ralph moved to California in 1955 and she took up a career in the cleaning industry.

Mae was a resident of Milpitas for 60 years. She was a special person to all that knew her. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends and her weekly outings to Black Bear Diner, Red Lobster, and every Sunday Omega Restaurant. For many years she would get her hair done every Thursday and her mani-pedi at His’n Hers Hair. She was always dressed up and ready to go somewhere. Even if she didn’t have plans to do anything she would always say if something came up she would be ready go. Her most favorite music was listening to Elvis.

Mae is survived by her sister-in-laws, Elnor Lovell of Valley, Nebraska; Ruby Lytle and brother-in-law Vic Balancier of Milpitas, CA; Jean Treadaway of Fresno; Aunt Annie Gilmer of Daleville, Alabama; granddaughter, Michelle Treadaway, great grandchildren Kathryn and James Treadaway of Valley Springs, her dear friends Liz Galvez, Victor Mata, Karen and Chris Griffin, Bob and Betty Roberts, several nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Her family and friends would like to extend a special thanks to the care-givers at Supreme Companions, the nursing staff at Cedar Crest Nursing Facility and Vitas Hospice for their support and care for Mae.
