    Sincere condolences to Mike and family from Maxine’s friends in Worthington, Indiana. There are many memories of her and her family here, and she was definitely missed when she moved to Wisconsin. We will always appreciate her generosity to the high school alumni association, and many other organizations here.

    Maxine was such a sweet soul. I loved seeing her at Dr Benjamin’s whe she and my Aunt Ginny worked there. Mike was a classmate of mine as well. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family.

    I’m so sorry to hear of Maxine’s passing. As her Worthington neighbor, I enjoyed getting to visit with her, admire her Betty Boop collection, and receive her yearly greeting card life updates after she moved away. Prayers to you all.

    Maxine was such a sweet kind generous lovely person. She worked for my dad several years and kept in touch after moving to Wisconsin with her letters, cards and pictures. She will be missed!
