The family first lived in Wyoming and later settled in O'Fallon, IL where Mae grew up and went to local schools. She was the valedictorian of the class of 1937 at the O'Fallon High School*.
When Glenn was stationed in England Mae and their first born child Norman moved to West Paris, ME and were later joined by Glenn upon his discharge from the Army Air Corps where they resided for many years.
Mae was well known in the area for her baking and cake decorating. She first started baking bread and selling it at nearby Mann's Mill.

She also made dozens of yeast rolls and pies for many suppers at the Universalist Church in West Paris where she was a member for many years.
