Mae is survived by her sister Irene, daughters Elaine (Jessie) Rasmussen/Charlton and Shirley (Jerry) Campbell, grandchildren Collin Campbell and Kristin (Christian) Kinzie, great grandson Dryden and many beloved nieces and nephews. She was a mom to those that needed her to be.

Mae was born in Onah, Manitoba and lived in Quebec, England and finally Ontario. She spent many years working for Joel (Avon) Jewellery and later at Hamilton’s Jewellery in Belleville. She was an Avon lady for many, many years. She had a passion for travelling, enjoyed playing cards, live theatre, visiting with family and listening to her granddaughter play the piano. She embraced every new adventure with enthusiasm and her very positive attitude.
