MAXINE HAYES

Graveside services for Maxine Hayes, 73, of Chickasha, will be held at 
1:30 P.M., Friday, March 24, 2006, in the Ninnekah Cemetery.

Maxine Hayes was born November 25, 1932, the daughter of Jennie Danley 
Shaw and Harrison Shaw, in a logging town by the name of Forester, 
Arkansas, of which I am told no longer exists. She went to be with her 
Lord on Wednesday March 22, 2006, in Chickasha after a lengthy illness.

Maxine met Jesse Hayes and they were married on June 19, 1953, in 
Woodlake, California. This union blessed them with two daughters: Brenda 
and Jenny.

They lived in California until 1970, when they moved to Oklahoma, where 
they settled near the small town of Ninnekah, later moving to Chickasha.

Maxine worked for the Junior Social Workers Remarkable Shop for several 
years. She made many dear friends here and she cherished the friendship of 
her co-workers.

She enjoyed spending time with her family, painting, and spending time 
with her church family as well as participating in the many activities at 
Grace Baptist Church.

She was a very devoted wife, mother, sister and friend. Anyone who met her 
instantly loved her, because she was so caring and affectionate. She will 
be remembered for her humor, laughter, common sense wisdom, her banana 
pudding, and her chocolate pies.

She was preceded in death by both parents; and one brother, Alvin Shaw.

She is survived by her husband, Jesse Hayes, of the home; two daughters 
and sons-in-law: Brenda and Michael Rodgers, and Jenny and Mike Phillips, 
all of Chickasha; three granddaughters: Melanie Tillman and husband Jerry, 
Jennifer Tolman and husband Kenny, and Rachelle Phillips; two step 
grandchildren: Justin and Brandi Tillman; and two great-grandchildren on 
the way; and a dearly beloved sister and brother-in-law: Fern and Jim 
Johnson, of Farmersville, California.

Maxine did not want anyone to grieve over her death she was ready to be 
with her Lord, and she wants everyone to consider her passing to be a 
celebration.

There will be no public viewing for Mrs. Hayes.

Services are under the direction of Ferguson Funeral Home.
