Mae was the youngest daughter of John Oliver Small and Iva Mae Peterman. She grew up in Somerset County, Pennsylvania on the family farm. She had four older siblings: Charles, Dorothy, and Mervin Small, and adopted brother Cloyd Dobson. They had a rough childhood as they were expected to help with all the farm chores, and rarely had time to play. By the time Mae grew up, she knew that she would never want to live on a farm again.
Mae spent most of her adult life in Erie, Pennsylvania, with her best friend Violet Liggett. Some of her jobs included working for Erie Technological Products and sorting mail for Erie Insurance. She was a very independent woman who believed strongly in self-sufficiency.
She was buried in the mausoleum in Erie County Memorial Gardens, beside Violet.
