COOKE, Maxine J. – of Flint, age 85, was called home suddenly on Sunday, December 26, 2010. Her husband Clem, daughter Cindy, son Len and his wife Pat were at her side. Maxine was born on August 26, 1926 in Flint Michigan to Leonard and Loreta Smith. Clem and Maxine were married in 1948, celebrating their 62nd wedding anniversary in September.

She will be sadly missed by her family and many friends, but happy memories keep her in our hearts always.
