Maxine had a remarkable career as a nurse, serving for many years at both Standish and Saginaw Hospitals. Additionally, she worked for Dr. Dolby and Dr. Casten in Standish, MI, where her compassion and dedication shined through in all she did.

Maxine later enjoyed taking over that role herself, bringing joy and care to those around her.

A fun-loving and caring person, Maxine enjoyed many hobbies and interests throughout her life especially those time spent with family.
