I remember visiting the farm and Aunt Mame would always make sure the kids got to see the animals: ride a horse, milk a cow, or hold a piglet! Her warm smile always made us feel welcome, and her endless energy and vigor was inspiring. She was such a wonderful, wonderful lady and will be missed greatly. Love Marilyn, Ted & Girls (Melanie, Natalie, Tammy & Amy)

— Marilyn & Ted Gaudun, May 31, 2011

I always remember Aunt Mame having maple syrup, homemade biscuits and fresh buns/bread. As a kid, I always remember holding a baby pig and helping Mame pick the eggs, which was great fun for a Steel Town kid. She had an incredible spirit and amazing fortitude. You will be fondly remembered by all who knew you. Love Donna & Lesley
