Maxine Prochnow Obituary

Maxine A. Prochnow

Jan. 8, 1933 - Dec. 21, 2020

BROOKSVILLE, Florida - Maxine A. Prochnow, formerly of Bloomington, went to her Heavenly home, after a short illness. Maxine worked for Purina before marrying her soulmate, Dr. Richard Prochnow, also of Bloomington. They were a loving couple for 60 years before his untimely passing last year.

They had three children: Jeff Prochnow, of Bloomington, DeeAnn Stoll, of Chattanooga, and Todd (Brittney ) Prochnow, of New Port Richey, FL. She is also survived by her sisters: Alene Whisman, Carol (Joseph) Bansch, and Jan (Dennis)Mammenga, all of Bloomington.

Maxine's life was dedicated to serving the Lord as the wife of a pastor spanning 50 years and five different congregations. After retirement, she enjoyed the fellowship and serving in her local church, Grace Tabernacle of Brooksville, FL. Maxine's advice and Godly wisdom helped inspire and comfort many people, and she will be greatly missed. We are rejoicing in the knowledge that she is with her Saviour, and many loved ones, especially her beloved husband. To God be the glory.

Our love & prayers to Maxine's children & family. We attended & served with Pastor & Maxine at Berea Baptist. They taught us so much about serving in the children's & young adult ministries. Our kids loved them as much as we did, we were all blessed by their love & testimony.

I have many happy memories of Dick and Maxine in Grace E.U.B. church in Bloomington, I enjoyed their fellowship, music, singing and friendship. I have thought of them often. Now they're together again.

Our heartfelt condolences to DeeDee, Todd and all the family. My husband and I had the privilege of learning under Pastor and Mrs. Prochnow for over fifteen years in Palm Harbor. They were so patient with us newbies. Her guidance as a pastor“s wife greatly impacted my life. We are indebted to them for their support, ministry, and encouragement into the ministry. We rejoice knowing they now are together praising the Lord in song!
