Maxine was raised and educated in Mount Pleasant, Utah but she spent most of her life in the Salt Lake City area.  She and John had a home in Emigration Canyon which they loved.  She worked as an accountant for years.  She also worked as a realtor and she owned and operated her own restaurant for a time.  She also spent a good amount of time tying excellent fly fishing flys for Doc Olsen’s flys.  After retirement Maxine and John moved to Mesquite, NV where they enjoyed the weather and Bingo.  Maxine loved riding horses in her youth in Mt. Pleasant and especially loved jumping her horse over the gate at her home much to the consternation of her dad.  In her later years her love turned to playing bingo in Mesquite.  She and John enjoyed traveling, golf and their families.  She especially enjoyed the trip to Europe her daughter Sue took her on.
