Mae Haws Mish

Mae Haws Mish, age 95, of Mesa Arizona passed away July 29, 2014. Mae was born on May 15, 1919 in Naples, Utah to Heber Bertel Haws and Rowena Virginia Larsen Haws. Mae married Frank Joseph Mish on March 9, 1937 in Coaldale, Alberta, Canada. They arrived in Mesa in 1951 and within a few years established Mish Portrait Studio on S. Macdonald St. In later years she worked at Mesa Temple View Bookstore. Mae loved her family and would often say, “There is nothing more important than family”. She was skilled at sewing and crocheting, especially her beaded doilies. Since childhood Mae loved books and poetry and lately would entertain others with her memorized poems and sense of humor. She will be missed. Who will keep us trying and to “NEVER GIVE UP”? Mae is survived by her four children, Lloyd Mish (Kim), Marlene Anderson (Bob), Karen Bushman and Rayma Moore, 18 grandchildren, 64 great-grandchildren and 24 great-great grandchildren, a brother, Francis Richins, two sisters, Freda Caldwell, and Avis Ashby. Services will be held at 10 AM on Monday, August 4, 2014 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Mesa North Stake Center, 933 E. Brown Rd, with visitation in the Relief Society room one hour prior to services. Interment will follow at the Mesa City Cemetery.
