Mae Powell

Immigrated from Scotland in Oct 1927 and became a US citizen in Sept 1943 in Chicago IL. During WWII she worked as a riveter assembling bomber planes for World War II - Rosey the riveter. She retired from the Fairfax County, VA school system in 1974 _ she worked in the cafeteria and it was a joy to see my mom every day while I was in elementary school. After they both reitred she and Donald Powell - her husband - went south to Florida where they had originally met in the late 1930's to recombine with a lot of the MacDonald family. She lived a good and long life and died at 93. I held her in my arms as she went to the next life.
