Mae Croft
January 30, 1920 - November 19, 2011
Mae Taysom Croft peacefully passed away on November 19, 2011 after a very brief illness. Mae Taysom Croft was born on January 30, 1920 to Joseph and Chloe (Allred) Taysom in Afton, Wyoming. Mae graduated from Star Valley High School in 1938. During her senior year she met her future husband, John Dee Croft, at a dance. They married on August 27, 1938 in Paris, Idaho, later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. Mae spent her life working and serving others. She especially enjoyed her time working as a secretary at Joaquin and Provost Elementary Schools. She and Dee also served a mission in Tallahassee, Florida from 1984-1985. Mae loved serving her family and will always be fondly remembered for her delicious rolls, spice cake, grilled cheese sandwiches and malts. Mae was always sweet, kind, patient, and loving. We can think of no one who has better exemplified Christ-like attributes during their life. Mae is survived by her children DeeAnn (Robert) Huish and Randy J. Croft; her grandchildren Terri Glickman, Mike (Chrissy) Glickman, Erin (Eric) Muirbrook, Robyn (Curtis) Johns, Tyler (Michelle) Huish and 13 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her friend and sister in law, Beatrice (Bill) Croft. Mae was preceded in death by her dear husband Dee Croft, daughter Karen Glickman, her parents, and many close siblings and friends. Mae will always hold a very special place in the heart of her family and those who knew her well. While we will miss her beauty and love, we know that she is overjoyed to be reunited with her husband, family and Savior. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, November 26, 2011 at the Grandview South 15th Ward Chapel, 1122 North Grand Avenue, Provo. Friends may call at the church Saturday from 9:30-10:45 a.m. prior to services. Interment, Timpanogos Memorial Gardens. Condolences may be sent to [email protected]
