To Maxine's Family:
I worked with Maxine at Ohio Farm Bureau. She kept the financial records for my department. She was very helpful in keeping our records in perfect order and had done it so long that she always new where to charge the bills. I always enjoyed talking with her.

Dear Relatives of Maxine.

I have known Maxine since I started working at Farm Bureau in 1955 and we were friends until the end - she was a great lady and special friend.. We had a good time at RuthAnn's daughter's wedding. I last saw Maxine at Norwich in June and would have seen her this year on my return from Florida.

To Maxine's family, I was a friend and neighbor of Maxine's on Weldon Ave. My husband Ed used to cut her grass. We always enjoyed her company and listening to her talk about her brothers, sisters and her many neices and nephews. She was always working hard to make her yard so pretty and always wanted to do more, if only she could. I moved away about 1 1/2 yrs ago and missed her. We spoke a few times and I tried to call a couple of months ago but she did not answer her phone. When I could not get her I was worried and hoped she was ok.
I am sor sorry for your loss and I know how difficult it is, but my friend has no more pain and I know she is working hard in God's garden. She was truly a sweet kind lady and I will miss her and think of her often, the world needs more wonderful people like my friend Maxine. Rest peacefully my dear sweet friend I miss you.
