Maxine was a 1953 graduate of Ansonia High School. She loved her family and often said the years she spent raising her children were the best years of her life. Maxine enjoyed working side by side with her late husband, Bernard in the fields. Maxine could often be found out on the lawn mower or pulling weeds out of her garden. In later years, Maxine became an avid reader and enjoyed working jigsaw puzzles. She was also an avid fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes and Cleveland Cavaliers.
