Maxine was born in Sheldon, IA, in 1921. At the age of 4, she was adopted and raised by her beloved grandparents, Walter and Elva McCroskey.

Maxine and Charlie opened Hall Drug (later Hall’s Liquor Store) on the corner of 26th and Minnesota Avenue in 1948. They owned and operated the store for 39 years until they retired in 1987.
With beauty and elegance, Maxine modeled for Julia Iverson on KELO television for several years.
