Eda "Maxine" Hettinger

HETTINGER Eda "Maxine" Hettinger, age 89, passed 3 August 2006, at Mother Angelina McCrory Manor. Maxine graduated from East High School in 1935 and attended Capital University. She was preceded in death by her son Michael and husband Vincent. She is survived by her children, Joseph (June), James, Mary, Barbara, Peggy (Scott) Mayo; 12 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. She resided with her husband (Vincent) in Grandview, Bexley, and Grove City. She retired from Columbia Gas Co. in 1979, and was a member of the St. Catharine and Bexley seniors groups. Maxine, along with her husband, was a wonderful example of graceful parenting, in both good and difficult times. She made her family the focus of her life, always being concerned about the well being of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, even when her own health was failing. She always put her family first in all considerations, giving her personal attention to all, making special efforts for each individually, and making each feel special; and was a generous giver of her time and talent with family, friends, and acquaintances. Mom will be deeply missed but always loved, appreciated, revered, and remembered. Friends and family may call Sunday from 2-5 p.m. at the MAEDER-QUINT-TIBERI FUNERAL HOME, 1068 S.
