Maudie Mae was a terrific lady. Thinking of her brings back days from the past. She always had the coffee ready at Leo's Cafe' after the bars closed back in the '60s.
She will be greatly missed.

I new Mae my whole life, she was my Mothers best friend and was always kind to us, she used to have my sister and me over for visits at her beautiful house, and she took us to church. I remember when she first met John, (what a hunk)he made her so happy, they were perfect for each other. both good and kind people.
What a cool Lady she was! I loved to just sit and listen to her talk, I will never forget her kindness, her laughter and her smile.

I have known Mae most of my life. She was my mothers best friend for many years. I have as many memories of Mae as I do any of my aunts and uncles. All of the memories are great. I mostly remember her smile and her laughter. I am glad she was my mom's best friend. My deepest sympathy to her family. I feel your loss.

Maudie May worked for my Mother, Mildred Bush, but seems like my
Mother called her "May". She was helpful to my parents and I send sympathy to her family. Ann Blakely
