  • Obituary

    Mae Honeycutt Flowe was born February 13, 1898 in Stanly County, NC, and would become the middle child of eleven children. In 1918 she married and moved to the Clear Creek community of Mecklenburg County where she bore six children between the years 1918 through 1936. Although never officially a member, Mrs. Flowe considered her spiritual roots to be with Clark's Grove Primitive Baptist Church south of Stanfield in Stanly County, NC. She participated in worship at Clark's Grove as long as she was able, into her early 90s. In the early 1950s, Mrs. Flowe left her husband (who later divorced her) due to abuse after the last of her children were grown. In the early 1960s, she moved into a small home in the Midland area of Cabarrus County, NC, adjacent to one of her daughters and two of her eight grandchildren. When severe family problems developed with her daughter's family next door, Mrs. Flowe was a dear and kind caregiver to her youngest grandson who lived next door and who, without her help and love, would not have succeeded in life and quite possibly not have survived. Mrs. Flowe enjoyed flower and vegetable gardening and visiting with her family members. She was a kind and gentle soul who prized her independence. Following the death of her daughter who lived next door in 1979, Mrs. Flowe moved to Mint Hill in Mecklenburg County, NC for a time, then moved to a small home adjacent to her eldest daughter north of Fort Mill, SC. Mrs. Flowe maintained her home until it was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo in September of 1989. At the age of 91, Mrs. Flowe decided not to replace her home, and lived for a time with her eldest daughter before moving to a nursing facility in Rock Hill, SC at the age of 97. Mrs. Flowe enjoyed family visits from her two surviving daughters and other family members while she lived in the nursing home. Mrs. Flowe died on July 3, 1999 at the age of 101, with her two surviving daughters and youngest grandson by her bedside.

Did you know?
In 1898, in the year that Mae H Flowe was born, on February 15th, the USS Maine exploded and sank in Havana harbor. The reason for the explosion has never been found, but it killed 266 men. "Remember the Maine" became a rallying cry and precipitated the United States' declaration of war on Spain two months later - the beginning of the Spanish-American War. On December 10th, the war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris. The Treaty gave the U.S. Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Guam - for $20 million - and, temporarily, Cuba.
Did you know?
In 1906, she was merely 8 years old when English biochemist Frederick Hopkins concluded that vitamins are essential to the human body and that a lack of vitamins caused scurvy and rickets. Scurvy and rickets were both huge problems in sailors that were at sea for extended time and the addition of vitamin C, vitamin D, and calcium in their diets helped eradicate the problem.
