Maxine grew up in Nevada and attended school there. In 1976 Maxine obtained her GED following her 10th grade education – something she was quite proud of. She was a homemaker most of her younger years. Maxine later went to work as a commercial housekeeper cleaning local area businesses. She enjoyed her monthly get together luncheons with her classmates of 1955, furniture refinishing, and daily yard work. Her greatest enjoyment was spending time with family.
