Maxine Carlin Obituary

Maxine Andrea Carlin

1955 - 2022

Maxine Andrea Carlin, a beautiful person who loved classic Rock n' Roll, died peacefully in her sleep with her best friend, Piper, at her side on March 31, 2022. She had many interesting careers including Radio Personality, Wine Room Hostess and a 39-year stint as a Pylon Judge for the Reno Air Races.

She is survived by her brother; sister-in-law; a nephew; niece; and many wonderful lifelong friends. We know her spirit is still with all of us.

Wait, what...I´m devastated. We worked together at UPS CSTC when it first opened in 1977. She bought me my first legal drink when I turned 21. All the work lunches we had with fellow employees plus after hour get togethers with another dear friend of hers. My Freddie was a kelpie as Piper was and we´d exchange photos and comments about them every now and then. I just can´t believe she was taken so early in life.

Maxine & I were best friends for 46 years. How similar our minds worked at times, were just uncanny. A day hasn´t gone by that I haven´t ached for her loss. I miss her wonderful wit, warm & generous heart, & our phone calls "just because". We were "Twisted Sisters from Different Mothers". Rock On, Sissy. Your Sissy misses you so...

Concerts, wine, road trips, wine, camping trips, and did I mention wine? Max and I were lifelong friends

Knowing Max for over 40 years, we were not partners in crime, but partners in wine. We had many adventures, and I will miss her greatly
