Mae was very much a “people person.” She never met a stranger. She always had a smile and a good sense of humor. She loved children and being of help to others. She was an encourager and wanted to make you smile. If she knew your birth date, you were automatically added to her special birthday call list. She was known for her “cake baking ministry”. She would bake any and everyone their favorite cake upon request. She loved God and always shared her faith and a scripture. She accepted Christ and was a member of Light of The World Ministries, Church of God in Christ, in Daleville Al. She was a graduate of Dale County High School and was employed at Ansell Corporation, Sony Magnetic Products, and JCPenney.
