For most of their lives, Mae and Cecil had a huge garden and canned many vegetables to share with family and neighbors.

Mae was an active member of New Hope Baptist Church and loved attending Sunday School class with her friends. She also enjoyed the annual Gore Family Reunion in DeQueen, Ark., and visiting with her many relatives.
She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, four brothers and three sisters. She was also preceded in death by three half-sisters and four half-brothers.
Survivors include two sons, George Rhoades and wife Lynn of Duncan, and Robert Rhoades and wife Virginia of Athens, Ga.; two grand-children, Danila Rhoades of Athens, and Tristan Rhoades of Portland, Ore.; one step-granddaughter, Natasha Duering of Athens; and many nieces and nephews.
