Stamm

Maylene "May" Stamm, 78, Mohrsville, passed away peacefully at Laurel Center in Hamburg, on Saturday, August 30, 2014.
She was born on February 26, 1936, to the late Arthur Maddox and Etta Mae (Willis). May was working at the Riverside Café when she met Warren Stamm, in the summer of '65. Warren and May were married a year later on September 16, 1966, in Andalusia, Alabama. They had been married for 47 years when Warren passed away on April 12, 2013.
May was also preceded in death by her parents Arthur Weldon and Etta Mae (Willis) Maddox; her aunt and uncle that raised her from infancy, Thomas Loudie and Odie (Peavey) Maddox; 4 brothers: Francis Enoch, Arthur Hayes, James Monroe and Ray Maddox; 1 sister; Vera (Ramsey) Currenton; and 1 daughter; Diane (McDaniel) Stamm.
May is survived by 2 sisters; Shirley Maddox Spurlin, wife of Bill Spurlin , Enterprise AL and Vera Maddox Crozier, wife of the late Harry Crozier, Hoopeston IL;4 children; Michael McDaniel of Stockbridge, Georgia; Linda (McDaniel), wife of Timothy Harrison, Opp, Alabama; Thomas Stamm, husband of Tonya, Fleetwood, PA; Janice (Stamm), wife of Daniel Zinck, Summit Hill, PA; 1 step-child Randy Stamm, husband of Sharon, Lebanon, PA; She also has 9 grandchildren; Brad, Amber, Harley, Whitney, Keith, Ryan, Allyssa, Tiffany, and Brenton and 8 great grandchildren; Hunter, Bailey, Steven, Aubrey, Issac, Eric, Camden and Breanna. She also has many Nieces and Nephews that she loved as if they were her own.
May enjoyed keeping busy and loved working and meeting new people. She spent her whole career in the restaurant industry, mostly at Perry Dutch Diner. She was blessed enough to meet and work with her lifelong friend Marlene kline. May and Marlene's back and forth banter kept the customers coming in. May had a way of making everybody feel welcomed. May loved serving her many loyal customers who became friends over the years. She was a true gem of a woman. She was a loving friend and a "Mom" to many. Like her late husband Warren, she would have never thought twice about giving you the shirt off her back to help others in more need than herself. May's southern hospitality and witty banter will be sorely missed by those who knew her. Not a day would go by without her telling someone to "kiss my grits" or saying "you crazy fool". Most of those that knew her would be able to share more than a few crazy stories of her numerous and always minor fender benders with Warrens cars.
A Celebration of May's life will be held on Saturday, September 13th at 1:00, at Warren and May's house in Mohrsville. For those that need directions, leave a message on Mays phone, 610-926-3998.
