Born, raised and educated in the city of Detroit, Mae Alexander was born into a strict but religious family. She developed at an early age, love and compassion for the Lord. According to my now deceased parents, her walk with the Lord, started at the age of 4.  Having an ear for music, she began playing the piano, which would include religious music and some of the other stuff too; when her parents were not listening.  At the age of 6 years old, she played piano for the Sunday school of the New Liberty Baptist Church.  Her father started a family group of Minister Alexander and her three younger siblings called the “Smith Junior 4.” 

She was baptized at the age of 9 at the Greater King Solomon Baptist Church, pastored by the Late Rev. Robert L Bradby.  Her desire to become a nurse sat on the back burner because of the financial situation within my family.  But God had something more in store for young Mae.
