Maxine was blessed with many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews, who she so dearly loved. In addition to being a loving mother and wife, she worked for Bell South Corporation, from which she retired after 20 years of service. Family gatherings were among her favorite activities. Spending time with family and friends, especially her grandbabies, thrilled her heart. Maxine enjoyed traveling and one of her favorite pastimes was fishing. She never caught a fish that was too small and was disappointed if you threw any back.

We were all blessed by her wisdom and her sweet loving spirit. We all loved her and will always carry her in our hearts. Maxine loved her church family at Believer’s Worship Center in Benton and looked forward to worshipping and hearing God’s message each Sunday. She was a Prayer Warrior, praying everyday for our country, its leaders, and all her family and friends. She had a well worn prayer list in her bible naming all of the people she prayed for daily.
