Maxine was a homemaker and devoted her life to God, her husband and family. She was a member of the First Assembly of God in Catoosa and always supported their various Mission projects. Maxine loved to make quilts and work in her flowerbeds. She enjoyed bird watching, especially cardinals, which were her favorite bird.
