Maymie was a homemaker and had lived in Gibson County for the past 61 years. She was a member of the Hillside United Methodist Church. She enjoyed being with her family especially her 10 great-grandchildren. She felt blessed with her great-grandchildren and thought of them as the light of her life. She had said if she thought there were going to be more coming she would stay around a while longer.
