Birth: Aug. 25, 1912 Death: Feb. 5, 2009
Mae Ellen Kroll, of Bellevue, Washington, died peacefully in her sleep on Thursday, February 5, 2009. She was 96 years old.
Mae was born on a Kansas farm August 25, 1912, the eldest daughter of Barnum and Sadie Shaffer. Mel, Jenny Lynn and Gwendolyn followed.
Mae was raised in both Kansas and Nebraska and lived her entire childhood and many years of her adulthood on a farm where she learned to cook, something she was very good at. She also had a passion for growing things, and her gardens always included flowers as well as vegetables. Growing up on a farm also taught her to sew, a skill she loved for many years. She made many of her kids and grandkids special clothes. Mae always enjoyed hosting the Holiday dinners and we all enjoyed many a very fun Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter dinner at her house. At 19 she married Rex Maydew in Mankato Kansas and started her own family, including Dallas, Duane, Ginger and Sid. These children became her pride and joy. In 1956, after 44 years, Rex and Mae left Kansas to move to Bellevue, Washington, joining Dallas and his wife Coleen, her sister Jenny Lynn and father Barnum. Six years later, the family lost Rex to a brave battle with cancer. Mae was preceded in death by her oldest son Dallas.
Mae worked at several jobs before settling in at Boeing. In time, she met and married Al Kroll at which time she retired and focused her leisure hours on her children and grandchildren, cooking, sewing and her amazing garden. She was a wonderful mentor and grandmother to seven grandchildren: Annie, Katie, Jeri, Sandra, Kenny, Sam and Samantha. She leaves 12 great grandchildren. She loved nothing better than a good cup of tea and settling into her cozy couch and visiting with her family and friends by phone. The phone was her lifeline to her family.
