Maxine Tate Shields Grimm

I served as a missionary in the Philippines all of 1972 and all of 1973. I was in the home of brother and sister Grimm a couple of times, while I served in the mission home as Mission secretary to president DeWitt C Smith. Sister Grimm would cook up a wonderful meal for us, and take us for a boat ride occasionally too. Her wonderful husband Pete, would sneak over to the mission home with gallons of mocha flavored ice cream, and we would all gather around the big table and have large bowls of...

The pictures of her in her home can be viewed by going onto Goggle and entering her name. They bring back fond memories of visiting her in her home. We also enjoyed going to lunch together at times when she would play the organ in the Salt Lake Temple. She was a delightful lady and we loved her dearly.

Maxine was a dear friend and cousin over many years. I would have come to her funeral but just heard about it on Saturday at 10:45 and didn't have time to make it there. I have many happy memories of our time together and am grateful for our association here. I look forward to further association in the next life. She was and is a grand and noble lady.

Pete and Linda,

Please accept our condolences. We love your mom very much, such an elite lady. She had so many talents that she shared to all of us. We will miss her dearly.

Love,

Duane and Erlinda Davis

Pete and Linda,

Your Mom means more to me than almost anyone else. She was my inspiration during my year and 1/2 at Clark AB. And she loved to drive my CJ5 Jeep around Manila when I had come back to the States. Then, when I had acted largely on faith to marry Teresa Turvaville in April 1979, your Mom showed up at our wedding at the Washington DC temple, not having received the invitation we sent to her in Manila when she was actually in Toole planning a trip back to the PI. Seeing her...

I will always remember when she used to play the piano for the Tooele High Seminary Chorus in the 1960's. Being in the chorus was one of my fondest memories from high school. She was an amazing woman.

Pete and Linda - what a remarkable woman to call mother! I can't help but think of the ties of my dad (Max) and your mom and dad from Manilla to Tooele! Great memories of being in your home for New Year's Eve parties and general get-togethers. You are blesssed to have had such a wonderful mother!

As a young Mormon missionary in Hong Kong in mid-late 1960, I had numerous opportunities to visit with Sister Grimm -- in fact, Sister Grimm was the best missionary I ever met, she never stopped testifying to everyone around her -- no matter where she was -- concerning her testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the truthfulness of the restoration of the Gospel in these latter-days. Her husband, also, was as nice a person as I have ever encountered. I'm quite sure that her life here was...
