formally of Darke County, passed away on February 4, 2019 at Hope
Hospice, Cape Coral, Florida.
Maxine was born on November 11, 1934 in Darke County, Ohio, the
daughter of the late Harold and Leah (Amspaugh) Slyder.
In addition to her parents, Maxine was preceded in death by her
brothers, Gene Slyder, Wayne Slyder and Mark Slyder; and her sister,
Madge Deis.
Maxine had a fun-loving spirit and enjoyed games. She enjoyed playing
Bridge with her Bridge Club. They would play men's team against the
women's team. If she would lose, she would not say good-bye, she would
say, "to be continued." However, if she won, she would say, "we're
done." She loved music and dancing and could play piano, by ear. Maxine
liked to travel, either locally or long distances. She grew up on a
farm and was no stranger to hard work. She enjoyed her work around the
farm and those lessons she carried on throughout her life. She worked
for 21 years as a secretary for North School and East Elementary. Above
all, Maxine enjoyed people and loved spending time with family and
friends.
