  Nettie Alford Maxey, 91, died Oct 21, 2002, at IHS South of
Many. She was born Aug. 4, 1911, to Fred and Neely Alford of
Many. She had three brothers and six sisters.

  Funeral services were held at 2 p.m., Oct. 23, at Oak Hill
Baptist Church, with interment following at Oak Hill Cemetery.
The Rev. Kenneth Leach Sr., and the Rev. E. E. Walker officiated.

  On Dec. 21, 1929, she married Walter Harold Maxey. They had a
daughter and a son. "Aunt Nettie", as she was known to one and
all, was a lifelong resident of Sabine Parish. Her love of God,
family, and friends was a shining light for all to follow.
Throughout her life, she delighted in being a "second mother" to
all of her nieces and nephews, sharing with them her love and
advice.

  For many years, the beautiful flowers she grew graced the alter
of Oak Hill Baptist Church. Each homecoming everyone loved her
wonderful cooking. She enjoyed crocheting, and became a champion
domino player. Because of her work and dedication to Sabine
Chapter #171, Order of the Eastern Star, she was granted a
lifelong membership.

  Survivors include her daughter, Georgia Armour and husband
Swepson of Corrigan, Texas; son, George Maxey and wife Carolyn of
Many; granddaughters, Judy Carney of Houston, Texas, and Kathy
Adams of Montgomery, Texas; grandson, David Armour of San Angelo,
Texas; four great grandchildren; one great-great grandson; and a
host of nieces, nephews, and friends.

  Pallbearers were her nephews, Jerry Alford, Billy Guay, Jerry
Neal, Ronnie Neel, Hubert Hippler, and Floyd Tarpley.
