Maudie Mae had really fond memories of her days of education at Mt. Prospect School, where she and her cousin Hazel Endicot attended.  As life unfolded, Maudie Carr moved to Joliet, Illinois and started a life-long career at Caterpillar Tractor Company which she retired with over 30 years of service.

Maudie Mae Carr gave her life to Christ at an early age and continued her walk of faith and later became a faithful member of St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church and served as a servant of the usher board.

Maudie Mae Carr had no children of her own but was blessed with many nieces, nephews, great and great-great.
