Music was her life, and sharing her talents with everyone. In every song she sang was with all of her heart and whenever trouble came her way she always knew who to call upon on. To have known Maxine was a blessing! She had a sweet spirit and always had a kind word to share. Over the years she has sang with family and many groups of her love for the Lord.
