Born in Mission City, British Columbia, May married Shigemi on November 26, 1955 in Taber. After moving to Lethbridge, while raising seven children she remained active in the church helping out at Bazaars, chow mein suppers and even helping out with the church kindergarten class. She loved gardening, crafts and spending time with her grandchildren and was very proud of how well her grandchildren had grown into fine young adults.
