Maxcine Helen Maupin was born December 24, 1917, the daughter of John and Gertrude (Hays) Maupin. She spent her childhood and attended school in Watson, Missouri.

Maxcine was united in marriage to Forrest Slemp, and to this union Robert Lee and Corkey were born. She and Forrest spent many years in Watson and developed many good friendships there. Maxcine’s door was always open to one and all; and especially to a little neighbor boy who would stop in during hot summer days to visit and get cooled off. He was so very special to her. Maxcine, Tom, and his dog, “Boy” spent many hours together. She was always there for the sick and needy, or if someone needed a ride, or wallpaper hung or a room painted. Maxine worked with her Mother, Gertrude, in the Watson Post Office for many years.

In 1962, Forrest and Maxcine moved to Loveland, Colorado. Forrest passed away in March 1976. On September 3, 1977, she was united in marriage to Paul Deines and they spent several years together. They loved to dance and entertain guests in their home in Loveland. Paul later passed away. She was employed at Hewett Packard, in Loveland, for many years until her retirement. In 1999, Maxcine moved to Nebraska City, Nebraska to be near family. Maxcine passed away on Thursday, July 2, 2009 at Golden Living Center, Nebraska City, at the age of 91 years.
