Maxine A. Powell Swindell

Maxine Agnes Powell was born April 11, 1926 in Wynona to Jeff and Mae 
Powell.  She went to Heaven on Dec. 13, 2001 in Wynona, surrounded by her 
loving family.

Maxine married her husband William E. (Bill) Swindell on Jan. 22, 1944 in 
Pawhuska.  Maxine was a lifelong resident of Wynona.  She was a member of 
the Wynona Assembly of God Church.  She enjoyed taking care of children for 
families in the Wynona area.

In her later days one of the children she sat with in her younger days came 
to sit with her.  Christmas was her favorite time of the year.  She loved 
Christmas lights and decorations.  She enjoyed trips to Branson and 
fulfilled one of her lifelong dreams on her last trip to Branson.  She 
viewed the lights from a helicopter with her grand-daughters.  She enjoyed 
her trips to K-Mart with Mary and her favorite hobby was working jigsaw 
puzzles any shape or size.  She was a pleasure to be around, a good person.  
She was a wonderful sister, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.  
She was always there to help anyone in need.  She will be greatly missed by 
all who knew her.
