Mae  Newland

Age 75, of Crest Hill, IL passed away peacefully early Saturday morning June 5, 2021, at Lightways Hospice Home.

Mae was born November 2, 1945, in Mt. Vernon, IL, and as a young lady moved to the Joliet area settling in Rockdale where she was raised.

She is the beloved wife of 56 years to Charles H.

Mae retired from Target in 2010 after 15 years of dedicated service.  She worked in retail most of her adult life and was a fan of Elvis Presley.

She will be remembered fondly as a wonderful wife and mother who we all admire for her strength, grace, and courage while battling cancer these past 12 years.
