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".
