Stevie Wonder and his mother, Lula Mae Hardaway
Stevie Wonder’s mom, Lula Mae Hardaway, went through a lot in her lifetime but she always remained a constant loving mother to her 6 children.

Lula Mae co-wrote many of Stevie’s songs during his teenage years, including the hit singles “I Was Made to Love Her”, “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours”, “You Met Your Match” and “I Don’t Know Why I Love You”, co-writing 4 songs on the 1968 album For Once in My Life. For co-writing “Signed, Sealed, Delivered”, she was co-nominated for the 1970 Grammy Award for Best R&B Song.

In 1974 Ms. Harday was with her then-23-year-old son at the Hollywood Palladium when he won his first Grammy, one of several he received that night.

Wonder eventually purchased a home for his mother in the San Fernando Valley, where she enjoyed a life of churchgoing, fishing, horse racing and cooking, including what family members called a “legendary peach cobbler.”
