Our Mom had a big heart taking in both animals and kids, giving all a home and love with understanding.

She loved a good crossword puzzle, listening to Billy Graham and watching old movies, remembering old times with great family get together. Yes mom was a great mom and caregiver. I can hear her saying in later times at last I will be with my beloved husband and see old family and friends that have gone before me. I can hear your dad saying what took you so long to get here.  Funeral will be for immediate family only at McLoughlin & Mason Funeral, followed by interment at Evergreen Cemetery, Wynantskill. She will join Dad again. In lieu of flowers please make donations to your local humane society in meory of Maxine.
