I met her several years ago and she would frequently come find me when she visited my work area and spend time just visiting with me. She was a sweet lady, always ready with a hug for me and a big smile. What a sweet lady. Sorry to hear of her passing.

Ira and family, we met Maxine at Azalea Park almost 3 years ago shortly after my dad moved there. We found we had common friends in Bushnell. She was always so friendly to us whenever we would visit my dad--many times she would be sitting watching the bean bag baseball or some other activity. She loved the Gators as you all know and talked about them frequently as well as about our common friends. We are sorry she has gone on and wish we could see her smiling face again at Azalea Park! God bless you all at this sad time. Mike and Ann White
