A dedicated mother and devoted friend to countless people in her community, Maxine was well-known for her many years of volunteer work for The Visiting Nurse Service Association (VNSA).

grade. Maxine’s children and grandchildren were her greatest joy. Her children, Lisa and Rusty, will always remember her love, her devotion, and the fact that in her eyes they could do no wrong. Her grandchildren were the light of her life. “GaGa” made all things special. She celebrated their every joy and was so proud of each of them. She loved them “more than the moon and the stars and all the way to mars” and “to infinity and beyond.”
