Willie Mae was a godly woman and as the scriptures teach, a woman whose children do "rise up and call her blessed." They knew a mother who always put family first. Her "walk and her talk" were one. Her children saw in her life an example of honesty, hard work, determination to be one's best, love of God and others.

She was affiliated with the Pauls Valley PTA and served as a Cub Scout den mother for many years. Traveling to see all the kids play sports brought Mrs. Stevenson great joy.

She was a member of the Church of Christ.

Her hobbies included gardening and growing beautiful flowers. Surviving family includes her son, Velmar Stevenson of Duncan, Oklahoma, daughter, Wynona Stevenson of Pauls Valley, 11 grandchildren, 34 great-grandchildren and 12 great-great-grandchildren.
