Everyone knew her as Mae or MaeMae, and for her joyful spirit full of loving laughter. She faithfully served our Lord as a devoted member of New Bethlehem Baptist church for over 50 years, and was a pillar of faith in her community and home by serving those in need. Her favorite pastimes included cooking, baking the best yeast rolls in South Louisiana, watching LSU baseball, and most importantly gathering with family.

Together, we would like to thank Clarity Hospice for the excellent and professional care they provided for our beloved Mae Mae. We would also like to thank Sharon Stewart who daily poured out her kindness while watching over her when we could not. Finally, thank you for all of the family and friends that have cared for, visited, sent cards, and poured out their love for our sweet Mae Mae over the past year.

Relatives and friends are invited to join the family on Tuesday, October 7, 2025 at Seale Funeral Home, Denham Springs for a visitation starting at 9:00 AM until the funeral service at 11:00 AM. Graveside service will follow at New Bethlehem Baptist Cemetery.
