Mabel Mary Elizabeth (Kahle) Wagner Mews was born on September 15, 1907, in Postville, IA, to parents Heinrick and Sophia (Schroeder) Kahle. As a young girl, she attended country school in Postville, IA. Following her education, she married LeRoy Wagner on April 21, 1926, in West Union, IA. Together the couple moved to Clinton, MN, in 1932, by loading everything they had onto a train.
Upon making Clinton their home, Mabel worked for the Clinton Good Samaritan Center. She also worked several summers at the Blue Bell Lodge, where she and Roy had spent their honeymoon. Mabel treasured the time she spent in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The memories she made working with her grandson Bobby in the Hills, in the summer, held a special place in her heart. On June 15, 1974, Mabel married Walter Mews.
In her spare time, Mabel enjoyed reading and visiting with friends and family, especially her grandchildren. Her favorite flowers were the rose and the lilac and she enjoyed tending to her flower gardens. Mabel was an active member of the Trinity Lutheran Church as well as being active in Church Circle. She was also a member of the September Birthday Club. Mabel loved her community and was always interested in community events.
