When I was a little girl and joined Rainbow, May was the mother adviser there. She was a kind woman who frequently took us girls in Mizpah #9 to events in the state for Rainbow and helped us when needed. Rest in peace, May, and hope you are with GOD.
When my husband and I moved 3200 miles across the entire country, I called the Masonic Hall to see when Chapter met. The very next morning there was May on my doorstep, chocolate chip cookies in hand, welcoming me and making sure I would "have a friendly face at Chapter". Her dedication to her Bow girls, even to washing mail trucks for them, was always inspirational and she was a delightful addition to our dinner parties and gatherings. We will miss her friendship and wonderful example of a life truly lived for God and be grateful for every one of the 14 years we had together.
My memories of May are many. She was a community oriented volunteer,and she will be missed by the community she served so well.
May was ALWAYS helping others..I would see her nearly every Wednesday at the Senior Center...helping...I would see her at the local grocery looking for things she could recycle for others benefit..like newspapers...she was such a giving person and i felt she really cared about the silly little things I was doing...because each Wednesday she was there, she would come in and ask...what are you working on...We saved papers for her and on occasion she would fetch them...and everything she did was with a smile...I never once saw her in a disagreeable mood...such a great woman...!!! I am really going to miss her!!
Every Tues and Thurs May would bring my mother Bonnie Nelson an Betty Keller to community meals. She was a very good friend..she was very dependable. She would check on mom every week. We miss her stories and her laughter at our table. Her chair is empty but her memory will always be there. We love you May.
May's mother and my mother were cousins. I recently contacted May for the first time by phone then email. We shared an interest in family history and it saddens me that I did not get to know her better. She informed me she had been to Marshall, Arkansas, her mother's hometown, on several occasions and met with relatives there.

We will miss you. Love you Aunt May.
