Born almost 94 years ago on January 31, Doris Maxine Isbell (Hendrix) was called “Maxine” by her big sister – Lucille. Her parents – Melvin and Lura Isbell, sister – Lucille (Falkner) and husband – Thurmon Martin Hendrix eagerly awaited her forever homecoming on December 11, 2018.
Her life here on earth was filled with love, joy and happiness with four children – Sandra H. Bailey, Tim (Linda) Hendrix, Christy H. (Maurice) Overby – Madison, MS., and Brad (Sherri) Hendrix.
Maxine was blessed with 8 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, and a myriad of nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family. She loved and supported each one of them with all her heart.
Her life was filled with so many blessings of good friends, and a wonderful church family here at Leeds UMC where she was affectionately known as “Momma Max”, “Momma”, and “Grandmommie”. She always had a smile on her face and a song in her heart. She loved to praise the Lord with song and signing, and was always the first to work for the love of the Lord, even up until her last day.
Heaven has received a precious soul this day! She will be truly missed by everyone who was blessed to know and love her. As a family, we believe the promises of our Savior, Jesus – that our Mom has received a new “glorified” body and that she is now walking on streets of gold and resting in the arms of Jesus – listening to Him as He says “Well done My good and faithful servant”!
