We have been blessed to have had our mother in our lives. Mae had the most beautiful soul. She was just two months shy of being 100 years old. Our mother was the most loving and caring of any person, we know. Her family was her whole life.

In her later years, Mae enjoyed bowling, Bunco and her Domino Girls club. She lived with our loving sister Shelley Page and was always surrounded by her family and friends. Her sister Lois was her best friend. A loving mother, grandmother, sister, auntie and friend will be greatly missed by all.
