Maybelline founder Tom Lyle Williams with Emery Shaver at the Villa Valentino 1938

Mabel met Chet Hewes, and everything changed.


One Sunday at church, #Mabel met Chet Hewes, and everything changed. On her 34th #birthday, she and Chet were married.
Sweet Mabel knew she had found her one true love. Before long, they welcomed three beautiful children and built a happy, peaceful life together—a marriage that would endure for nearly fifty wonderful years.
Through it all, Mabel remained deeply devoted to her brothers and sisters, and later to their children and grandchildren. She was the loving heart of the Williams family—the one everyone could turn to for kindness, comfort, and unconditional love.
Throughout her long life, she was affectionately known simply as “Auntie Mabel,” a name spoken with #love by generations of #family who adored her.
For the young woman whose homemade #beauty remedy had unknowingly #inspired her brother Tom Lyle to create #Maybelline, perhaps Mabel’s greatest #

legacy was not the famous company that carried her name, but the family she loved so faithfully throughout her life.
