Maxine Guenther of Carrollton, Texas
October 29, 1920 - July 11, 2020
Maxine Guenther, 99, of Irving, died peacefully Saturday, July 11, 2020 at Vitas Hospice Center of Carrollton. She was a loving wife of 65 years to Albert William Guenther, and mother to Patty Guram and Gary Guenther. She is survived by her son-in-law, Jaswans Guram, her five grandchildren Monjit Guram, Leea Henderson, Sonya Guram, Tanya Guram and Teena Guenther and five great grandchildren Parker Guram, Kyndall Guram, Grant Guram, Bodhi Judkins, and Noah Askew. She was loved and cared
for by many, including her generous caregivers over the years. Special thanks to Stephanie Mendez and her family for watching over her in her last days.
Maxine was born October 29, 1920 in Homewood, Kansas to Dwight Keas and Mary Alice Foushee. She graduated from high school in Leavenworth, Kansas in 1938 and attended post graduate classes in Chemistry. She later attended Parker College in Missouri. After graduation from high school she worked in the Leavenworth Flour Mill laboratory, where she met Albert, who worked on the dock. It was love at first sight. They married September 26, 1941. Together, they were parents and nurtured three generations, who they cared for and influenced with integrity, love, a strong moral foundation, and their strong faith in God that carried them to the end of their days. She lived through America’s Great Depression, World War II, and many wars following. It has been said her generation was America’s best generation because the men and women in that generation fought not for fame or recognition, but because it was the "right thing to do."… they were recognized for their resiliency and dedication to come together to make it through tough times. She trusted in God more and more as she aged, as she relied more on His strength than her own. She sought after the opportunities to share the love of God to those who passed through her life. Many confided in her and shared in the strength God had gifted to her to be an anchor in a storm. She was a beautiful Matriarch, and many, not just blood, called her Mom and Grandma. She enjoyed listening to her music everyday, singing along to nearly every song and often being inspired to dance. She looked forward to a game of cards or dominoes with friends and family and it was not even that long ago that she would participate in a family game of hide and seek, always proving she had an adventuresome spirit. Her backyard garden was a sanctuary to an array of birds, and even a stray cat or possum wasn’t turned away. Her smile was sincere, her laugh infectious and she will be greatly missed. Maxine and Albert were both long time members of Kirkwood United Methodist Church of Irving.
A graveside service is being held on July 15th at 10 a.m. at Oak Grove Cemetery in Irving, TX. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the gathering is limited to immediate family. The family will plan a future“celebration of life” to gather with friends and family to remember Maxine’s life, after it is safe to gather once again.
