Maydel was born on April 15, 1926 in Scott and was a lifelong resident of Lafayette. Maydel had many roles during her life - daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and friend to all. For 18 years, she worked tirelessly with her clients at the Alleman Center attending to their needs and enabling them to work productively in the community. She also devoted herself to the daily care of her husband, S.J., during his long illness. Maydel never knew a stranger and her door was always open to those in need. Her life was a testament to God''s instruction, found in Matthew 25, to give water to the thirsty, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and care for the sick.
