Maxine was so sweet. We worked together almost 20 years ago. We would always have the best talks everyday. I saw her again about a year ago, and we talked about going to lunch. I wish I had followed through, but I’m glad I got to see her. RIP Maxine, you will be dearly missed.

Some of my fondest memories are from working at Kaufman Library with Maxine. Many dreary 7am mornings were decorated with laughter because of her. I will never forget her incredible whit and ability to make any situation a little bit brighter. Maxine was honest, but still full of compassion, kindness and empathy that a lot of us students needed. I will never forget the impact she made in my life and I miss her so much.

I am so saddened to hear about Maxine. I had the pleasure of working in the library with Maxine at GGC. She was so kind, funny, and giving. I truly enjoyed talking and laughing with her and will miss her dearly. My condolences to her loved ones.

I am heartbroken to hear of Maxine’s death. When I started at GGC she and I bonded over our shared Jewish backgrounds. It was nice to have someone to exchange greetings at holidays and share how we celebrated. She loved her library career, colleagues and especially working with students. Maxine was helpful to me in securing research material and showed a genuine interest in my work. Her memory will be a blessing to all who knew her.
Nate Orgill
Maxine was a wonderful person, whom I had the pleasure to work with fairly regularly as a result of research I did through the GGC library over the years. She helped me get access to lots of hard to find books and newspapers and was a real ally in helping me get my hands on the materials I needed. She was always very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in not only the work I was doing but also about what was going on with me in my personal life or in my career at GGC. It is really sad to see her go. I am sure she will be missed by her family and the many friends she made and had an impact on during her time at GGC.

I've worked with Maxine since GGC was Gwinnett University Center, when the library was in Building B. She always came through with any request for help, and did it in the most cheerful helpful way. All of us at GGC will all miss that.
