Don and Maxine even led a youth group and an adult group to Haiti. While there, Maxine taught many Haitian women how to sew on sewing machines First Church had previously sent them. With having dairy cattle, it was difficult for the family to get away. However, they did manage to spend a week at Goose and Snow Lakes, with family and the Auers, in the summers. Family gatherings during the holidays were always important to Maxine, especially the fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

In 1978, they sold the farm and moved into Columbia City and Maxine and Don started to travel more. They made many memorable trips together to all fifty states, several cruises, and several provinces in Canada. In their retirement years, they wintered in Everglade City, Fla. for over 25 years and while there, they attended Everglades Community Church.

Maxine thoroughly enjoyed oil painting, reading books, fishing, playing cards with her kids and grandkids, lots of baking, and cheering her favorite high school and college basketball teams. Her favorite teams in order were the Fort Wayne Komets, the Indiana Hoosiers, and the Purdue Boilermakers.

Maxine had a brilliant zest for life and always hit the ground running, to do all she could do for her community, her church, her family, and for God. She will not be forgotten, but held close in the hearts of those who loved and knew her well!
