As a loving wife, mother, and devoted friend, she will be deeply missed. Mae Eileen Hill was born in Astoria on August 29, 1926, to Syma (Oja) and James Andrew "Andy" Hill. They lived in Astoria until she was five years old, when they moved to Longview, WA. Mae graduated from R.A. Long High School in 1944, where she served as Girls Club president and wrote for the school newspaper. At graduation she was named one of the top ten "Outstanding Girls" in a class of more than 200. After high school she attended Oregon State University, joining the Gamma Phi Beta sorority. On September 2, 1950, she married Hubert E. Hendrickson in Astoria. They settled in Longview, where they attended St. Stephen's Episcopal Church and were blessed with three children. In 1973, the family moved to Federal Way, WA, where they were active members of Church of the Good Shepherd. Mae and Hubert moved to Arch Cape in 2001, and became active in their church and community, and enjoyed hosting family and friends in their home.

With her husband, Mae traveled to many countries in Europe and Asia, making some of the trips with their dear friends.
