Mae was preceded in death by her brother, Jay Shelton, and her sisters, Anna Staley, Ida Tate, and Betty Ockerman.
She was a member at Forks of Elkhorn Baptist Church, where she taught Sunday School for many years. She retired from the Cabinet for Human Resources as an Administrative Secretary and had been owner/operator of Ducker's Station Grocery.
