Maxine was born November 10, 1937 in Humansville to Harry F and Nellie E (Welch) Butcher. She graduated from Humansville High School in 1955. Throughout her life, she worked at Humansville Truck Lines, Humansville Star Leader, and Family Pharmacy of Humansville at each place serving as a bookkeeper/secretary.

In 1969, she married the love of her life, Raymond Grimes. After retirement, they enjoyed traveling with friends and loved camping in Branson at Treasure Lake (her second home), attending shows, and listening to gospel music at Silver Dollar City. She was so proud of her family and enjoyed supporting them in all their events from sports, music, academics, and adventures in between. Nanny, as she was affectionately called, loved cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs, Springfield Cardinals, and the Humansville Tigers.
Maxine was saved at a young age and was baptized in 1970. She was a member of the Humansville First Baptist Church, where she attended faithfully, taught Sunday School, sang in the choir, and helped with Vacation Bible School. She loved the Lord serving him faithfully by volunteering regularly and always sharing her faith with others and is now receiving her reward in Heaven. She was well liked and respected by all that knew her and her loving nature and big smile will be missed by many.
