She has been a cornerstone for the family and community, a legend who has left a huge gaping hole that can’t be filled. She was a person who “never met one bad kid” during her 47 years in business as owner of Mae Mae’s Snoball Stand. She’s a model of compassion, tolerance, and kindness and has been successful in all aspects of her life, as a wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, great great grandmother, Christian, friend, entrepreneur, and the list goes on. What she has been most proud of in all her life has been her family.
