Maxine Opal Smith, 90, of Morrisonville, IL, passed away on Saturday, December 21, 2024 at Taylorville Memorial Hospital.

Maxine was born November 27, 1934, in Springfield, IL, the daughter of William and Alberta (Henson) Rathgeber.  She married CP Smith, Jr. on June 17, 1951.

Maxine was active in the Morrisonville Community.   She was the village treasurer for over 20 years.  She was a member of the Methodist Church in Morrisonville.  She enjoyed sewing and could fix a pair of jeans for anyone in town.  Her grandchildren were very important to her and would always enjoy spending time with them.  She was also a member of the Eastern Star for over 50 years.  Within the past few years, she became a big fan of the Indiana Fever rooting for Caitlyn Clark.

  1. Light a CandleMa was a wonderful, strong, beautiful woman. We sat together at so many of Rian’s functions. She was the most forgiving and loving person you could ever know. It was an honor to have known her and to be able to call her my grandchildren great grandmother. Her class is beyond most people’s. Rejoice in Heaven Maxine with all your loved one’s.
    Connie and Clyde Westbrook
