April Dawn Maxwell, 42, passed away Friday, July 5, 2024, at her home after an extensive illness with cervical cancer. She was born May 23, 1982, to Ralph Maxwell and Deborah Mach in Wiesbaden, Germany. April enjoyed coloring, listening to gospel music, gardening, and painting diamonds. Anyone who crossed paths with April would immediately fall in love with her. She had a kind, loving, sweet spirit about her. She loved spending time and shopping with her best friend Candy “Candy Cane” Aguilar. Being able to spoil her children is what brought her greatest joy in life.

She is preceded in death by her father, Ralph Maxwell; infant son, Cameron Anderson; and step-daughter Chelsea Copeland.
