Maxine Zerbe, 97, 1106 Pearl St., Rochester, was surrounded by her loving family when she went to be with our Lord at 2 p.m. Thursday at Life Care Center of Rochester.
She was born on Dec. 13, 1913, to Henry and Pearl (Timbers) Moore. Growing up, she shared her childhood with her brother Cecil and sister Margaret. Maxine was proud to be one of Richland Center High School's oldest living graduates. In the early 1930s, after the depression, she married Clyde Zerbe.
As an accountant, she worked for the banking industry and Sears. Maxine enjoyed crocheting and quilting afghans and blankets for family and special friends. The flower gardens that embraced her home adding color and beauty were planted and carefully maintained. To relax she enjoyed walks in the woods. Each spring brought a crop of mushrooms, hunted, harvested and prepared by aunt Max. She was also the best Playdough cookie maker!
There were many memories of aunt Max. We enjoyed walking trips to Gropps for delicious fish dinners. Stopping off at the Nickles Thrift Store for treats and bread, was another essential place to visit. Did you know aunt Max was a professional barnyard basketball player? She was awesome teaching us her technique for layups. There were rides in the country when she'd allow us to sit on her lap and help drive. Her Christmas surprises to us were always the best, practical things we needed everyday and of course they were in use almost upon our departure.
She is lovingly remembered by her niece, Debra Moore, Rochester; three great-nieces, Jenifer Rodriguez, Stacy Rodriguez and Stephanie Bandow, all of Rochester; and two great-nephews, Thomas Moore, Rochester, and Cecil Moore III, Kansas City, Kan. She is also survived by a daughter-in-law, Beulah Zerbe, Rutledge, Tenn.; three great-great-nephews; two great-great-nieces; and her feline companions Bandit, the black domestic short haired cat, and Linus, her tiger cat.
Preceding her in death are her husband, Clyde, son Don Zerbe, her brother Cecil Moore Sr., and her sister Margaret Clarice Moore.
