Thoughts and prayers for Maxine, mother and grandmother. Will remember the cheerful and smiling face of a second cousin.

Our condolences to all of Maxine’s family and friends. I will always remember her positive attitude and great spirit. I also remember those times as youngsters when we would get together to challenge our fathers in a good game of whist.
From the Sampson family we are sorry for your loss. Maxine was a great lady as most of us helped out part time and our father Richard was a full time. Dad always had high regards for Maxine. Thoughts and prayers to you your family Kenny, Jim, Richard, and Cheryl
