Maxine Ellen Hartford

Dear Nana - we were cousins and I wish so much I could have known you better. Your mom was sister to my dad, Ted. You sound like such an incredible woman that I am sorry you were not a huge part of my life. I have lived in Missouri since 1966 so missed out on a relationship with you and your family. My deepest condolences and love to all of them. God bless. Until we meet in Heaven - Christine Patterson Ireland

Linda and I enjoyed the service for Maxine today. We grew up next to Floyd and Merlin on Dawson Street. Maxine and I volunteered for Opportunity Alliance at the same time. I even gave her a ride home a few times. A great gal who will be missed by many. We are both sorry for your loss.

Kathleen and family, I was so sorry to hear of your moms passing. I liked seeing her at brown when i came in for the books. Take care. See ya around. From, Kristen Tully

Some childhood memories of growing up with Merlin and Floyd on Dawson Street. Condolences to you and your families.

Nana was one of the best! I will always remember fondly the years she spent as a foster grandmother for our kids at Brown School. Her quiet gentle ways of helping our kids were magical. And I will never forget that she joined us on our annual school wide climbing of Bradbury Mountain! RIP Nana! We love you!

Dear Kathleen & Family,

My heartfelt condolences on the very great loss of Nana. What an inspiration she was for all of how to live a full and meaningful life!

She was always so kind and polite to me at Brown School. A shining example of those virtues.

She will live on in all of you. You were so lucky to have her in your lives.

Nana was such an loving and caring person. She never camecorcwent without a smile. She was an inspiration to so many adults and children. Never will there be another like her. See you later Nana! With lots of love

The most wonderful mother-in-law a wife could ever hope for and a most precious grandmother to the children, teaching them early to love Jesus
