Barbara Maxian Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Barbara was an interested and actively involved teacher of English at Maine Endwell High School. She was a faculty advisor to a number of student groups. She was especially fond of a group called Z-Club because besides doing charity work it produced all the high school drama and musical performances.
She was actively engaged in ELOCA, a local community charity group. She served many roles including a stint as president.
The family will receive friends at the Leon Pucedo Funeral Home, Inc. 1905 Watson Blvd. Endicott, NY, on Saturday February 22nd from 1:00 – 3:00 PM at which time there will be a short memorial service. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her memory to either ELOCA P.O. Box 8503 Endicott, NY 13760 or The Broome County Humane Society 167 Conklin Ave. Binghamton, NY 13903

Barb was my first English teacher when I moved to Endwell. I remember nothing of the content, but I learned the best lesson possible...that there is a joy to teaching, a joy that draws students to learn, to be curious and to enjoy the act of being a student. That lesson helped me immeasurably in my own teaching career.
Barb and Mike were a teaching team and a life team. They nominated me as a Graduate of Distinction, but they had both made it possible with their teaching.
Rest well, Barb.

Mr. Maxian, I am so sorry to hear of your wife's passing. Sympathies to your family as well. I didn't know her, but you were my tennis coach; fond memories. May your memories of her warm your heart at this difficult time.

Mrs. Maxian was a special person. I got to know her when I became a member of Z Club in my junior year. She was very dedicated to our group and always there for us girls. In my senior year she encouraged me to run for president of Z Club. I'm so glad she did because taking on that leadership role was a "first" for me and with her support, it gave me a new-found self-confidence.
She and I would keep in touch through the years as I pursued my teaching degree and then eventually became a Maine-Endwell colleague. She was always so friendly, kind, and still interested in her past students. May She Rest In Peace. My condolences to her family.
