Mae Rhea Block's Obituary
Mae Block, 94, of Edgewater passed away peacefully on April 18, 2017, surrounded by her family. She was the daughter of the late Fred B. and Doris M. (Owen) Bartsch and was born March 4, 1923, in Milwaukee, WI.
Mae was an avid reader and a lifelong student of art and classical music. She took many classes and toured countless galleries throughout her life to expand her understanding and appreciation of the fine arts. Always a Chicago Cubs fan, she added the Baltimore Orioles to her list of pastime favorites, and faithfully watched them to her final day!
She is survived by her daughter Marilyn Leek and her husband Jeff, her son Ron Block and his wife Sharon, all of Annapolis, 4 grandchildren – Jennifer Pantall, Kathryn (Katie) Gateau, Andrew Block and Brian Leek, and 7 great-grandchildren.
A private service celebrating Mae’s life will be held at a later date.
