Mae and Bill were my friends since high school. We socialized before and especially after our group of friends got married. Many celebrations were hosted by each couple at our homes.
All of our "gang " enjoyed Mae´s friendly smile and contagious laughter! I will always remember the good times we shared!!

The Mae I knew always had a kind word to say to you. She was a lady in every sense of the word. She made you feel welcome and included in her friends/family group even if she just met you. Her friendly smile drew you in. Because she was such a lovely woman she will be missed by many but I am certain because she is free of her ailing/aging body and suffers no more. Her spirit is free to see what she wants to see about the heavens and the earth. God bless her✝
Diane, Jennifer, Brian, Amanda Bill and all the Fisch related family. I am so sorry for your loss.
Most Sincerely and Affectionately.
Donna McDevitt.

Whenever I had the opportunity to be with Mae socially, her smile was surely a bright spot in the room. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I remember Mae from many family parties, weddings, baptisms, etc. early on. My parents loved her. My sister remembered our mom saving this picture from the newspaper. Mae was young and happy. So sorry to Diane and Bill and family for the loss of their mother, grandmother, great grandmother.

Our Aunt Mae was such a great lady! She meant the world to me from day one of meeting her. She was someone you could talk to about anything, get advice from, and have a great time with. If I had a nickel for every time we laughed together, I’d be rich and retired! But it doesn’t matter, because our lives were richer just by knowing Auntie M! We have many “Aunt Mae isms” that we use regularly around our house, and she knew it! Thank you, Aunt Mae, for everything! You’ll always be very fondly remembered and loved!
