May was born Jan. 11, 1924, in Union Springs, Ala., to the late Charliwill and Herbert Pearce of Columbus. She moved to St. Simons Island from Huntsville, Ala., in 1963. May was a longtime member of St. Simons Presbyterian Church, and was an active member in the TOC Class. May had a deep, abiding faith in Jesus Christ and the teachings of the New Testament.
She is survived by her children Norma K. Lilly of Austin, Texas, Andrew D. Korb and his wife, Susan Popper Korb, of Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., and M. Alan Korb and his wife, Mary Kay Cummins, of Ponte Vedra Beach. She is also survived by her grandsons, John O.

May will be remembered for her longtime love of books and reading. She opened and operated the Shorebird Bookstore on St. Simons Island for 18 years. For eight years she was employed at Charter-by-the-Sea as a medical secretary. In later years, she worked for the G. J. Ford Bookstore on St. Simons Island for 12 years until her health issues obliged her to retire.
"Eternal rest grant unto her, Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace."
Arrangements are entrusted to Edo Miller and Sons Funeral Home and Oglethorpe Crematorium.
