CLARK BAILEY NEWHOUSE FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION CENTER Pat J. O''Neill / Director 113 Maple Street Email: clarkbaileynewhouse@charter.net Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan 49783 FAX: 906/632-7521 Ph: 906/632-8221 OBITUARY Name of Deceased: Mavis A. Wenman Residence: Dafter Township Brimley, Michigan Date & Place of Death: Wednesday September 30, 2009 Hearthside Assisted Living Date & Place of Birth: June 9, 1915 Superior Township, Michigan Mavis was active all her life working for the Soo Woolen Mills in the 1930''s as a seamstress. She sewed so well that the company had her making samples for display and selling of their merchandise. Later she sewed at home to earn extra money to help support her family. She also taught sewing for 4-H members. Mavis enjoyed cooking and baking. She generously shared her delicious home-style food with family and friends. She made a variety of delightful breads, cookies and pies. Some of the food she prepared had no REAL recipes. Foods like potato cake, poor man''s tarts, scones and sour cream cookies. These treasures were handed down from her mother and are made by touch, look, and texture of the dough; with a pinch of this and a dash of that. She poured all her love and care into everything she did. Like her mother, she always offered a visitor something to eat. She would never want anyone to leave her home hungry. Most people would leave her with a little homemade "treat". SURVIVED BY: Son Timothy (Irene) Wenman of Green Bay, WI Daughters Joy (Everett) Trumbley of Sault Ste.
