Maxine McIntosh McGuire

Maxine McIntosh McGuire, 91, widow of Don McGuire, passed away peacefully August 15, 2024 at Baptist Health Lexington. Born Dec., 12, 1932 in Owensboro, KY, she was a daughter of the late Albert and Lucy Blanton McIntosh. After attending Western Kentucky University where she met her husband, she became a loving wife and mother to her three children. Her greatest joy in life was having family and friends around her kitchen table. She even cared for and loved as her own, a young man named Billy Wright, after he lost his mother. While dementia robbed her of many things later in life, especially her amazing laugh, she continued flashing her sweet smile until her final days. She is survived by her 3 loving children, Cindy (Billy) Shell, Kreis (Betty) McGuire, and Lisa (Jeff) Baumgardner; 9 grandchildren, Brad Horn, Whitney (Joey) Roberts, Emily (Justin) Glenn, Maggie Shell, Tanner (Neil) Gallacher, Parker McGuire, Spencer McGuire, Casen Baumgardner, and Katelyn (Brandon) Canfield; 7 great grandchildren, Ellis and Frankie Gallacher, Boyd and Dawson Glenn, Asher and Haden Horn, and Evelyn Baumgardner. She was preceded in death by a granddaughter, Abbey Tyler McGuire, a sister, Juanita Hayes, and her twin brother, Eugene McIntosh.
