Obituaries

I am so very sorry to hear that Maxene passed— she was such a lovely person and I have many fond memories of her from living next door on Ashley Drive. Unfortunately, I am no longer living in Rochester or I would come to the memorial service, but please know my thoughts and sympathy are with you. May her memory be for a blessing to you all. Best, Alison

My Aunt Max was simply the best. She was a talented artist, an incredible party planner, a loving mom, grandma, daughter, sister, aunt, great-aunt, and a treasured friend to so many. She loved being around people and had a special gift for making everyone feel welcome, seen, and valued. No matter the occasion, she brought a smile, positive energy, and a sense of joy wherever she went. Through her beautiful artwork and colorful personality, she brought so much goodness into this world. Her creativity, kindness, and vibrant spirit touched countless lives and created memories that will last forever. She will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving her. Love you, Aunt Max. Your light will continue to shine in our hearts always. ❤️

Spent the day with my aunt having lunch, painting, admiring the beautiful jewelry she had made and telling fun stories. She made spending time with her so easy! 🌸🩷🌸
