Mae’s personality was infectious. Her stories would leave you with a smile on your face and with unforgettable memories. She was very honest, outspoken, and upfront. The advice she gave was real and from her own experience. Mae would embrace people who others would turn their back on.

One cannot speak about Mae without speaking about her love for Football (Kansas City Chiefs and the Dallas Cowboys), Golf, puzzles, soap operas and daytime TV game shows. Her TV was programmed to remind her of all her favorite shows. One of her favorite past times was to sit on her balcony at night and count the stars. She also looked forward to getting calls from her children every day.
