Maxine was a loyal, loving, and devoted wife of 68 years and was the epitome of the dedicated military wife who made sacrifices above and beyond in support of her husband’s 32-year military career. She was a devout member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church of Valdosta. Maxine was a former manager of several USAF base federal credit unions, as well as the Valdosta State College (University) credit union.
