Maxine was the best boss ever!! As office manager at Dr Sandridge and Councell’s office she led with kindness and grace. And then I got to o ow her better at church and I am so thankful to have known her!
Wonderful memories immediately comes to mind. Carol, thank you for the heads up, still shocked.
My sincere sympathy to Dan and Maxine’s family. I met Maxine & Dan when I lived at Trinity View and was always delighted to see them at Arden Presbyterian. I appreciated her warmth and kindness.
What a precious soul, I worked with Maxine for years- Thankful for the opportunity to have her apart of my life, and the gracious woman/leader she was. Prayers for Dan and family. She adored her girls and grandchildren.
