Mae Ann Meredith died Saturday, September 9, 2006, at St. Anthony Regional Hospital in Carroll at the age of eighty. Mae Ann Meredith was born in Manning on August 26th, 1926 to John and Anna (Anthony) Ostermeyer. Later she moved with her parents to Westside, Iowa. In 1940, Mae contracted polio and lived in a wheelchair most of her life. She attended Westside School and graduated second in her class in 1945. She worked in her father's mechanics shop as a bookkeeper. She married William Meredith on June 29th, 1960, at the family farm north of Westside where they resided until February of this year, when they moved to the Manilla Manor.

Mae was a loving wife. She enjoyed reading, challenging word games, handiwork, watching the cows in the pasture and trains passing. She collected antiques for over fifty years and ran Windmill Antiques out of her home. In the seventies, Mae and Bill were instrumental in signing up hundreds for Rural Water.

Mae is survived by her husband Bill and cousins, and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents.
