She was Baptized, made her First Communion, and Confirmation in April 1974 at Sacred Heart Parish in Bushwood, Maryland. Her Godparents and Sponsors were Martha Butler and Marie Bowman. Mae spent her early years working outside doing yard work, especially, keeping flower beds clean of weeds and raking leaves for a lady named "Miss Julia" in Maddox, Maryland. She always had a passion for children, like a guardian angel she would watch over them, protect them and most of all talk, talk and talk to them (if they would listen). In her more senior years, Mae enjoyed the company of family and friends, watching television, playing solitaire cards, chewing spearmint or juicy fruit gum (courtesy of Dennis Butler) and holding her stuff animals and doll baby. Her best friend was Mary Chase. Mae was a companionate individual who would do anything for anybody. She also was a breast cancer survivor. On Saturday, December 16, 2006, our beloved great Aunt, the family's guardian Angel, and Friend was called home to be with her Savior.
