A visitation will be held at 4 - 6:00 p.m. Monday, September 14, 2020 at Grandon Funeral and Cremation Care, 414 Lincoln Way Ames, Iowa 50010. Masks and social distancing are required. Mae was born on November 18, 2008 in Des Moines, Iowa to Drs. Bill Rivard and Alison Barnhill. Mae was artistic in every sense of the word; she loved to paint and draw, and had been playing the piano since she was 5 years old. Her favorite song to play was anything by Queen and was most recently working on "Killer Queen". She was in her fifth year with the Ames Children's Choirs. She adored Harry Potter books and movies. She showered her cats with love everyday spending hours cuddling with them. Mae thoroughly enjoyed her family vacations to Wisconsin with her family and Great Uncle as well as Mexico to visit her grandparents, along the way she would try any new Mexican dish that would be put in front of her as long as it had enough cilantro or hot sauce. In her free time at home she would always keep a strong competitive spirit when it came to board games with her brother, Hugh. She loved to play Roblox with friends, her brother and even Grandma. Mae sadly leaves behind her parents Bill and Alison, brother Hugh, grandparents Mark and Kathryn Barnhill, and Raymond and Sandra Rivard, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
