She is survived by her daughter: Monica (Kellie) Ginter, her son: Manfred (Sonia) Ginter, her three grandchildren: Manfred, Lusca, and Jason and her great grandson: Julian.

Mae moved to The Bahamas from Belize in the 1960s, beginning a new chapter in a place she would come to call home. While working as a receptionist at The Towne Hotel, she met Fred, the love of her life. What began as two separate paths soon became one beautiful journey, filled with love, family, friendship, and shared dreams. She was a skilled businesswoman and the driving force behind the many ventures she and Fred built together, including Princess Beauty Salon and the Swiss Pastry Shop.
Mae leaves behind a lifetime of love, laughter, hard work, generosity, and unforgettable memories. Though she will be deeply missed, her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched.
She will be remembered, cherished, and loved always.
