Maxine L Haury

Maxine wanted her obituary to simply read “She was here, circled the drain for a bit, and now she’s gone”, but her kids, decided to elaborate a bit more: Maxine Louise Haury of Evansville, Indiana passed away on Tuesday, January 25, 2022 at the age of 94. She was born on February 15, 1927 in DuQuoin, Illinois. She was a teacher at a one-room schoolhouse with grades 1-8, worked as a full-time ringleader of the ‘Haury Children 4-ring Family Circus’ act, before getting her license and working as an LPN. She was an incredible woman that lovingly embraced each of her roles as mother, wife, friend to everyone she met, and devoted Christian. Maxine was a member of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Evansville, Indiana. She was preceded in death by just about everyone she knew, including her husband Charles of 49 years. Maxine is survived by her children, Terry; married to Fran Haury, Gayla; married to Michael Vanover, Don; married to Ellen Haury, and Pat; married to Angie Haury, nine grandchildren, fourteen great grandchildren, two great-great grandchildren (that we know of), and her very best friend Carol Deihm. The family would like to thank Hospice, all of her church family, and other family and friends for the care and compassion they showed Maxine in their final days. Family and friends are invited to attend a visitation with the family at Alexander East Chapel, 2115 Lincoln Ave., from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Friday, January 28, 2022. A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, January 29, 2022 at Redeemer Lutheran Church, 1811 Lincoln Ave., officiated by Rev. Thomas Wenig. Burial will follow at Sunset Memorial Park. Friends may also visit from 9 a.m. until service time on Saturday at the church. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in her honor to Hospice of Western Kentucky, Gideon’s International, Barnabus Mininstry, Redeemer Lutheran Church; Evansville, IN, or to any loving organization of one’s choice.
