Maxine was a former seamstress with Warner's and a member of the Little Poplar Creek Baptist Church. Granny lived a simple country life embracing nature, loved a sunny day to work outdoors and took joy in getting her hands in the dirt. She found contentment and peace with her flowers and gardening. She will be remembered fondly for her chicken and dumplings, fried apple pies and much more.

She enjoyed watching westerns, building puzzles, coloring, drawing, painting crafts, quilting, crocheting, caring for her chickens and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

On October 19, 1957, she united in marriage with Everett Haze Senters who preceded her in death.

Jordan, Elizabeth Garland and Colton Owens; great grandchildren, Addy, Brody and Hudson Haze Trent and Monica Garland; among other loved ones and dear friends.
