Mae was born in Forbes, Holt Co, MO (although the city may have been Oregon, instead) to Elihu Merritt Blackburn and Zerilda Caroline Smith. She married around 1918 to Glade L. White, founder of White and Day Mortuary and Pacific Crest Cemetery. They had 3 children together. Mae was a member of the Playa Linda Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, the White Shrine in Redondo Beach, the Hermosa Beach Women's Club, and a member of the St. Cross Episcopal Church. She was living with one of her daughters in Sierra Madre when she died. She is interred with her husband's ashes placed in a hollowed out Bible in her hands.
