Maxine Doris Wood Wilson

95, of Frankfort and formerly Lowell, passed away on Thursday, June 10, 2021.

She came to live the last few years of her life in Frankfort, Indiana, residing at Wesley Manor Retirement Community for her final time on earth. She now is residing in heaven with her Savior, Jesus Christ!

Maxine married Ernest Clifford Wilson on December 2, 1942 in an elopement across state lines before he was enlisted in the US Air Force. Maxine cared for Ernest for many years after his health required him to be home-bound. In addition to being his loving care provider, Maxine also worked throughout her life as a hotel and restaurant manager, child care provider, and school cafeteria worker. She loved spending time with family and friends, often caring for those who needed it. She also served faithfully at her home church, the Lowell Church of Christ.
