Born and raised in Burlington, NJ, Mae was a 1951 graduate of Burlington High School.
Always vivacious, she was the captain of her high school's cheerleading squad and proud of it! Shortly after high school, she married the love of her life, Jerry, and moved to Levittown, PA.
They raised their 7 children in Quincy Hollow and later, Red Rose Gate. They were original Levittown homeowners and members of the Queen of the Universe parish.
After her retirement from the lab at Lower Bucks Hospital, she & Jerry moved to Ocean City, MD, where she enjoyed biking, tap dancing, bowling, and relaxing at the beach. Recently, they returned to Bucks County.
