Their daughter Vicky was born January 1945, their son, Terry was born December 1945, their third child, Edna was born September 1948. They were farming and built a new house in the same yard they were living. Mae was a great cook, gardener, farmer and housekeeper. She made most of the clothes for her children on the old treddle singer sewing machine. She enjoyed fishing, camping, hunting, curling, dancing, including square dancing and playing cards. She was very involved with the Idylwyld Home Makers and Idylwyld cemetery. They moved to Spiritwood in 1974 and continued grain farming. She lost Bill in 2013 but stayed in her own home until January 2018 when she moved to Rose Gill Lodge in Rabbit Lake. She moved to Spiritwood Long Term Care January 2020. She was fearless, she hollered at a bear when it came into the blue berry patch and that bear left. She went out and shot a Lynx that had come into her chicken pen. Mae picked up a snake and walked it down the road when it came into her garden. She was a wise, spicy, loving, caring person, leaving many memories for us all. A private family interment in the Idylwyld Cemetery will take place. Friends so wishing may make memorial donations to the Idylwld Cemetery in memory of Mae Moore as a token of remembrance.
