Maybelle came to San Francisco in 1946 to give birth to Carol at the age of 38, never revealing her pregnancy to members of her large family, and shortly thereafter returned to Easton. When she met her daughter, she was so embarrassed and ashamed about her status as an unwed mother that she insisted Carol not make contact with her family.
