Maxine P. Goratowski

I just heard this date that Maxine has passed from this life into eternal life. I served with Maxine in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve, and remember her as a professional and reliable unit member. She could always be counted on to be diligent and prompt with her work; and this enabled the unit to accomplish its mission for the Coast Guard.
While performing excellent work, she was always friendly and pleasant to be around.
I will always remember her as a dedicated member of our unit....

As a fellow Milwaukee County Retiree, I send my sincere condolence to the Goratowski family. Her fine legacy and passion for her family and others will surely be remembered for generations.

Those who fall asleep in death, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. Psalms 116:15

I first met "Max" (as i always called her) while I was working at Big Apple Bagels in Hales Corners in about 1999. She would come in every week to pick up sandwiches while on her way to visit her relatives & bring them lunch. (She liked the tuna on egg bagel) She always marveled that I remembered her name & order...but she was such a pleasant lady, it was easy for me to do that. We struck up a friendship that way & I looked forward to her weekly visits. In 2001 I took another job & Max was...

My Mom and Dad became friends with Maxine around thirty years ago. I remember her as a person of faith who always tried to be there for her church, her family, and her friends. Years after my parents passed away, we kept the friendship going ... one of life's little joys that enriched both our lives. Thanks, Maxine, for your sharing and caring ways. Your big heart will be missed.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers for all.

You will be missed!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Our condolences to Geraldine and family. We looked forward to Maxines year memories letter at Chrismas, they were a great way to keep up with her full life. May she RIP

I will greatly miss my Friend Maxine. Until we meet again❤
