Mae Yee Tucker, beloved wife, mother, and friend, born in China in 1938, passed away peacefully Jan. 2, surrounded by many family and friends.

She grew up in Burns after immigrating from China at the age of 10. Her parents, Eddy and Mary Yee, owned the Arrowhead Cafe. Mae and her brother, Mike Yee, later owned and operated the Hilander Cafe for many years. Though she moved to San Rafael, Calif. (north of San Francisco) in 1970, she always held Burns close to her heart.

She is survived by mother, Mary; brothers, Richard (Shirley) and Mike (Tina); children, Sherri, Karen (George), Charles (Dee), and Eric; grandchildren, Tucker, Jackson, Shaina, and Tristen; and many relatives and friends, all who are honored to have known her.

She was preceded in death by husband, Charles; and her father, Eddy Yee.

A service was held Jan. 8 at Valley Memorial Park in Novato, Calif.
