Maxine’s love and care for children was evident in how she spent most of her years while living in Selma. She began teaching at Leika’s Kindergarten in 1958 and continued there for 37 years. She then “retired” to work at West End Baptist Church Day Care. On most Sunday mornings she would be found in the children’s department at her church beginning with Church Street United Methodist Church, then First Independent Protestant Church, and finally at Crescent Hill Presbyterian Church.
