Aunt Mae was the child of George Cuthbert and Mary "Polly" Young Cuthbert. She was born December 23, 1920, in Coylton and raised in Mossblown, Ayr, Scotland. She attended school and college in Scotland and entered the WAAF. She served as a teletype operator with the Air Ministry at Harrogate, York, England. After being discharged she went to work for American Overseas Airways (AOA)as a radio teletype operator at Prestwick, Scotland. There she met Samuel Wayne Bailey in 1946.
They were married in Annbank Parish Church in 1947. Their first child, Dennis, was born at Irvine Central Hospital, Ayrshire, Scotland in 1948. They all came to the United States via Germany in October 1948. There she set up housekeeping with her new husband, son, sister-in-law, brother-in-law and niece in Dayton, Ohio.
In 1949 a daughter was added to the family named, Mary Elizabeth. With the family growing they moved to a new home in Springfield, OH in 1950. In 1953 another daughter, Sharon Linda arrived. In 1955 the family moved to their newly built home in Beavercreek, OH.
I loved visiting with Aunt Mae. When my mother died she looked at me and said that she could never replace my mother but if I ever needed her she was there for me. She was good to her word and I asked her advice and we talked often. When she died on March 18, 2006 it was like losing part of mom again,
Aunt Mae was a very special person. She touched many lives. You always knew what she was thinking and she let you know if she thought you were wrong. I really miss her.
