A West Virginia Timberman's Daughter

Maxine was born into a hard working family on a farm in Pipestem, West Virginia. She learned quickly from her parents all the hard work it takes to maintain a farm, meet the challenges of feeding a large family and still have time to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. A strong faith in God helped Maxine meet many health challenges very early in her life, one of which was to be with her for nearly fifty years.
