Maxine Atchison Johnson, a beacon of love and nurturing, departed this earthly realm on the 23rd day of May, 2025, at the age of 90. Born on the 10th of May, 1935, Maxine was a tapestry woven with the finest threads of caring and compassion, a soul whose warmth drew others to her like moths to a flame.
A devoted mother, Maxine embraced her children with an affection that knew no bounds, serving as both a guiding light and a steadfast protector. Her greatness as a mother was a testament to her love, a love that radiated through the lives of those fortunate enough to call her family. With every cherished moment spent with her, she imparted lessons of kindness, generosity, and unwavering support, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of her loved ones.
Maxine's life was characterized by her benevolent spirit and unyielding commitment to those around her. She exemplified the virtues of love and care, nurturing not only her family but extending her arms to envelop friends and acquaintances alike. Her laughter was a sweet symphony, and her wisdom a guiding star that illuminated even the darkest paths.
