According to the newsletter, Maxine is always a happy, warm, and loving girl. Her birthday is June 13 and she attended Dunkirk schools as a youngster.

A favorite food of Maxine’s is a tender roast with gravy that just falls apart. In the summer time, you can find Maxine sitting outside enjoying the beautiful weather even though fall is her favorite season. We just celebrated her favorite holiday of Christmas as well.
