Maxine was born in McCook, Nebraska to William Fletcher and Margory Burton Fletcher. She was the fourth of five children and was raised on a farm in Palisade Nebraska. After graduating from high school Maxine moved to Denver Colorado and attended Barns Business School. Upon graduating, she took a job with Security Lfe as a keypunch operator.

Maxine met her future husband Paul in 1963 while working in Denver. They were married in 1966 after Paul was discharged from his military service. They lived for some time in Capital Hill, Denver. Two boys blessed their marriage: Carlton Albert born in 1969 and Clifford Daniel born in 1972. The family moved to Arvada, Colorado. Maxine suspended working to raise her boys full time.

Once Carlton and Clifford were of school age Maxine returned to the business world and worked for Inness Keypunch, Jefferson County Schools and IBM.
