The newlywed couple began married life in Winganon, then moved to Talala for several years, before returning to Winganon, where they lived until Vernon's death in 1995. During their marriage, Vernon and Mae enjoyed socializing with friends and family, and taking an occasional trip. Mae was a wonderful mother, and her family was always her first priority. At their last Winganon home, Mae decided to take up gardening, and not only was she very successful at it, but became well known for it. During later years, she moved back to Bushyhead to live next door to her sister, Faye. She enjoyed watching her favorite TV programs and working word search puzzles. Sunday dinner became a family tradition, with all her kids, and sometimes grandkids, showing up as well.
