Besides her parents, Mae was predeceased by her husband, Wilson; brothers, Gilbert and James; and dear sister, Minnie. Mae lived a long and happy life. She had an adventurous and independent spirit and enjoyed travelling both near and far. Some of her happiest moments were spent aboard the Mitsy with Wilson and Fred out on Conception Bay. She loved time in the garden with her vegetables and flowers and later in life watching her grandchildren grow. She leaves all of us with the gift of abundant love for family and friends.
