Vera Maxine Pace, 76, joined her Heavenly Father on Friday, December 22, 2023. She passed away at Merit Health River Oaks Hospital in Flowood, MS. Ms. Maxine loved the Lord and loved her family so much. She was a Daughter, Mom, Grandmother, Sister, and Great-grandmother. She always had a beautiful smile even when she didn’t feel like it, she has fought many health battles and has overcome each one. She was such a warrior, she never let it stop her from doing the things she loved. Which was going to church, putting up vegetables, going shopping, putting puzzles together, coloring, doing her crossword puzzles, cooking, watching her game shows, wrestling, watching football and spending time with family. She loved every holiday, but her favorite holiday was Christmas. Everyone that she came to know loved her. She was called Mama, Gran, and Ms. Maxine by everyone she knew.
