She loved spending time with her family, walking, doing puzzles and watching Western's in her favorite chair.  

Maxine was a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She will be missed dearly, especially her quick wit that made everyone laugh. She is survived by her children, Donald "Mike" (Kay) Baxter and Sherry Baxter (Dennis Kelley); granddaughters, Cindy (Russ) McLean and Betsy (Tom) Kato; great-grandchildren, Mackenzie, Micah, Maxwell, Tanner, Macy, Madison and Logan; many nieces and nephews who fondly referred to her as "Aunt Mac".
