Maxine was born on April 5, 1929 in La Cygne, Kansas to Frieda Erna Bender and
William Emery Devine. She lived with her parents in El Campo, TX. When she was only 6 years old, her mother died. She and her younger sister, Luverne were then raised by her father and her Aunt Hilda, who later married. She then resided in San Antonio.
She went to high school at Thomas Jefferson High School in San Antonio and
graduated in 1947. She went on to attend Draughon’s Business College. She worked at Connecticut Mutual Insurance Company as a secretary, Brooke Army Medical Center as a secretary for 5 different doctors and worked for the Corp of Engineers in Alabama. She moved to Florida with her husband, Leroy, in 1962.
Once moving to Florida, she started a family and stayed home to take care of
them. Each night she always had a home cooked meal on the table for them to
enjoy. She actively participated in her children’s lives by being a homeroom
mother to both daughters. She took them to all their music lessons and contests and went to all the Merritt Island High School football games. She enjoyed going on trips during the summer each year in their travel trailer and
especially enjoyed going back to Texas to see her family.
