Maxine Carroll was a farmer's daughter.
She met her husband in 1950 while attending school at Morehead State Teacher's College. They married June 1st that same year.
During the 1950s, Maxine was a stay-at-home mom, sewing all of the little dresses for daughter's Marilyn and Madelyn. She made the uniforms for the Marshall High School cheerleaders. The tiny but mighty Marshall High School in Highland County Ohio was the home of the Boys State Basketball Champions of 1928. She was known for intricate crochet work as well as her creative sewing abilities.
During the early 1960s, Maxine often took substitute teaching and private tutoring assignments. Her students sometimes commented on her southern accent and would ask her to repeat the word "five" -- or "fav" as she would say -- and the children would giggle. She was patient, tolerant, and respected among her students.
In the late 1960s and into the mid 1970s, her husband's heart condition led her to work full-time in the banking industry to help support the family. She eventually found work with the General Electric Company as a secretary, retiring from there in 1993.
Maxine was an award winning flower grower. She could often be seen at night among her flowers with a flashlight. Gardening was her time of peace and she cherished it.
She was a faithful life-long member of the Church of Christ. Even during the Alzheimer years she would ask Madelyn every day, "Is today Sunday?" She thought every day was Sunday, and time for church.
