Tributes
Bud, Russ, Ralph and families. I am so saddened by your loss. Mae was a friend of our family as long as I can remember. She was a great 4-H leader and helped out kids and just about everyone without expecting anything in return. I know she will be greatly missed by all who knew her and I fondly remember all the good times we had at the lake and at her house when I was a kid. May God comfort you as only He can.

Mabel will truly be missed at the Maples. I have never met such an awesome laid back lady. She and mom bonded so well, I just wish it could have been for a longer period. Thanks to your entire family for accepting my mom with open arms the way you all did. Mabel was a blessing to my mom!

Bud, Russell, Ralph and all the Moore family: We were so saddened to hear about Mae. We have many years of great memories of time spent with your family. Mae was always smiling, laughing and a joy to be around. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

We are remembering Mae with our favorite memory of her--in the kitchen on Sunday afternoon, getting ready to feed the boys she loved best.
Her crochet projects welcomed our brides, and cuddled our babies as they arrived. Her baskets carried our wife's projects to and from....
From encouraging our 4-H projects to work in the summertime Mae supported our efforts and our antics.
Summertime meant hauling hay and then meeting at the Venesian Inn---good friends, good food and a fair amount of ribbing....
Remembering Mae, as a second Mom, like so many others who gathered at her Sunday table.
May God grant you comfort, as we celebrate the life that meant a lot to us growing up.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Memories are a true treasure.
