Throughout her life she was a devoted and hard working homemaker to her husband and family. Maxine had made her profession of belief in Christ and followed the Baptist faith. She had attended the Second Baptist Church of Lebanon. In her spare time she enjoyed being outdoors where she liked growing beautiful flowers, camping and fishing. She loved any excuse for planning and having a party, especially family birthday parties, 4th of July celebrations, and all the basic holidays. Her family was very dear to her and she greatly enjoyed her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
