Maxine Klaich Obituary
She married Fred Klaich on June 2, 1957. They lived in Buena Vista, Frisco, and Dumont before moving to Grand Junction in 1965. Fred died in 1986. The couple had two sons, Michael (Loretta) and Mitchell (Sheri) and five grandchildren, Christopher, Gwendolyn, Sarah, Christian, and Chloe.
Maxine lived a full and active life making friends wherever she went. She was a dedicated homemaker and helped run the family apple orchard. After Fred's death she moved to Fruita where she lived until her passing. Her love for the Gospel and her amazing ability to teach led her to serve two 18-month missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in New Zealand and England. Maxine also served in various community, scouting, and church leadership positions, leaving everyone a little better than when she found them.
Services Saturday, December 9th at 2235 Kingston Rd on the Redlands. Viewing 10:00 and funeral 11:00.

Dear Mike and Loretta,
I loved your mother so much. She and my mom loved each other too. They would laugh until they cried. I remember picking peaches and fruit in the summer with my brother Keith. We had a great time.
Loved visiting with your mom and her mother in Fruita, and at your home before she passed. We had fun at BYU Education week. I am so glad she shared all her stories of her life. Mike you did a great job publishing her book! We will miss her so much! I think of her often even now.
Love you all,
Lana Hardy Horrocks
