Maeola was a great and good friend of my mom, Arzetta England..They worked together for years at Levi's on Cherry Street. Mom considered her a amazing christian lady, I found the obitituary when looking for someone from my church who passed away.
Mama talked about the light and actions Mae shown in the pressroom at levi's..she will be sorely missed. Mom has not seen her in awhile., mom is in church now so mom will reunite with her on the sunny side of Jordan, after she sees Jesus..I will look forward to seeing Mae again myself..
