Mrs. Maxine Cottrell

Maxine worked at Smith Transfer from 1953 to 1967 and met many wonderful people that she continued to talk about for years. She started working for the Kanawha County School System in 1967 and retired after 26 years on June 30, 1995. During this time she held many positions and made many friends along the way.

Maxine loved her caregiver Doris Osborne, as they became very close over the last couple of years. Maxine felt as if Doris was the sister she never had and loved her unconditionally. She also loved her dog Candi and spoiled her rotten. Maxine loved going to the auction, cooking, shopping, and travelling. She also thought the world of her neighbors Ron & Lisa and Ron & Linda.

Maxine was preceded in death by her parents and her husband Troy F. Cottrell; only son David L. Morris; and brother Eugene Beard.
