I met Maxine at a Livesay reunion in Rogersville. I hadn't been to one since I was a young girl. We continued to communicate after that . She was so informative. Loved talking to her! I think of her often and hope to get to go to library in Rogers bills where she donation a lot of her research on the Livesays

I met Maxine at a Livesay reunion in Rogersville, she gave me her phone number and address.Loved talking with her. Her knowledge amazed me. She would tell me about her children and what they were doing. She loved her family! Will miss her! She was a tough lady ,didn't let things get her down!

We are sad to hear of Maxine's passing. She and Herbert were always such good friends to our family. We were always impressed with the work she did on our family history. She will be missed but has gone to a better place.
