Mabel was born July 6, 1926 in Hurtsboro Alabama and lived in Algiers for many years. She was a longtime member of the Algiers United Methodist Church. Many will remember her from her years in the Infant Care Dept at Arden Cahill Academy.
Her strong faith and unconditional love were the hallmarks of her warm and generous personality. There were many she encountered who were inspired by her strength and steadfastness and her stubbornness too. She will be missed by many –as well as her millionaires' pie and oyster dressing.
She was predeceased by her parents Henry Walter Streetman and Minnie Lee Jeffries, her beloved husband Frederick Carl May, and her dear friend and confidante Abbe Garfinkel whom she considered her 4th daughter
Mabel is survived by her daughters Kathryn Thomas (David) of Shreveport, Amy Gillane (Thomas) of Hampton Ga, and Jo May of Mandeville, La., her four grandchildren and five great grandchildren as well as her extended Alabama family.
Donations may be made in Mabel's memory to St Francis Animal Sanctuary at 97 Obed Magee Rd Tylertown, MS 39667.
