Mattie Mae Galbreath, 66, went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on August 2, 2015 at Holiday Resort, Emporia, Kansas. Mae loved people and was a living testimony for the Lord. She touched many lives and she will be missed by all who knew her.
Mae was born November 24, 1948, in Elaine, Arkansas, to Edward and Mattie Morris. She was raised in Pratt, Kansas, and was a resident of Emporia for more than 40 years. For a good part of her life, she was a homemaker, until she took a position as a teacher’s aide at Headstart for 12 years.
