Our thoughts and prayers to all of you...Grandma Maxine had one of the biggest hearts and always thinking of everyone. When the kids were little all her thrift store items were always welcome, she knew a deal when she could find them. I loved her spunk and quick wit, she will be missed! Randy & Bev Gobin

Aunt Maxine, you will be missed by not only me and Dewey but by my children as well. They all have memories of you and Uncle Frank and the many visit's we have had through the years. You have been like a mother to me and a grandmother to my children. Specially Julie and her children, they have always looked forward to your visit, and Julie with the many shopping trips you have taken us on. She remembers you finding her the Tommy Hilfiger jean bib's that she wanted so bad that she would not pay
$110.00 for and you found them for $3.00 and to be new blew her away. You were the SHOPPING QUEEN. May you rest in piece, I will miss you, but will know you are in a good place and will be with more of your family and like I told you Sunday my mother is proud of the way you watched over me, and things will be good between the two of you. I love you.
