Born on May 30, 1932, in Morehead, Kentucky, Maxine was a woman of many talents and passions. She worked as a jeweler for the B David Company, where she poured her creative spirit into crafting beautiful pieces.

She was a gifted musician who enjoyed playing the guitar and singing with her family. She delighted in sharing spooky tales with her grandchildren during sleepovers and had a knack for bringing laughter and joy to those around her. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
