MAXINE SHANKLE was born on January 17,1959, to the late S.B. and Edna Spikes Shankle in the Shankleville Community of Newton County, Texas. At an early age, she was immersed into Christianity.

She united with many church families throughout her life. She was a member of the Antioch Baptist Church in Call, Texas, under the leadership of Pastor Dennie Johnson, until her health began to fail.

Maxine was a graduate of Jasper High School, class of 1978. She loved people. She loved family. She loved life. She always had something that would make you laugh. She also enjoyed good food and family gatherings.

She was preceded in death by her parents, S. B. and Edna Shankle; two brothers, Ulysis and Lynell Shankle; and one sister, Opal Adams.

Maxine leaves memories that will never fade to her children; Tametra Shankle Adams (Marcos) and Kanija Rollins (Angelica); grandchildren, Kci Shankle, Sabian Bluitt (My'Kia), Jordan Young (Ty), and Chosyn Rollins; great-grandchildren, Baylee Bluitt, Kenslei Bryant, Tyler Bluitt, Preston Kenebrew and Celine Young; brothers and sisters, Clara Warren (Melvin), Barbra Moran, Edna Malvo (Darrel) and Claude Shankle (Teresa) and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
