Maxine had a zest for life.  She had a wonderful marriage of 26 years and considered the highlights of her life to be her husband, children, grandchildren, her cats, traveling around the world with her husband, family and friends. They took many trips over the years and saw many parts of the world.  She loved to entertain friends and family, cooking fantastic meals. She loved to laugh and loved to make others happy. She volunteered at the local food pantry for several years. She loved hats and garage sales, books and antiques. Her passion in life was for giving “caring” at hospitals: rubbing the feet of ladies who were ill!  She had a heart for those that were under the weather and delivered many meals to those in need.  She was an active member of Brookings-Harbor Christian Church.
