She was an active member of Del City Christian Church for 43 years until she moved with husband to Guthrie, OK, in November 1993, where she became active in the First Christian Church and made many friends there. Maxine loved being with family and friends, Bible Study Groups, reading, handwork, collecting cookbooks and travel. She was a faithful prayer warrior and encourager.
