Maxine Horton Obituary
Born: May 16, 1964 | Died: August 22, 2025
Heaven got a little louder on August 22,2025, Maxine Townsend Horton passed away unexpectedly at home. Maxine was born on May 16, 1964, in Boone to Larkin and Mildred Townsend.
Maxine was preceded in death by her father Larkin Townsend. She is survived by her mother Mildred Townsend, her husband James Horton, her two sons Scotty Hall (Erin) and Harrison Horton. Her sister Patricia Owens (Kelly Corpening), her brothers Gary Townsend (Connie), Bobby Townsend (Robin), and several nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her lifelong friend Juanita Carlton.
Maxine had an eclectic personality, she lived for yard sales and thrift shopping. She never met a stranger, to know her was to love her. She was the most loving, kind and quirky person you would ever meet, what you saw is what you got with her.
While she will be greatly missed, we find comfort in knowing she made it to her heavenly home.
A Celebration of life and potluck will be held for Maxine on August 30, 2025 between 1-4, at the Foscoe Community Center. All friends and family are welcome to come celebrate all that was Maxine.
