Maxine Drummond
d. October 12, 2009
Drummond, Maxine Stone, of Christiansburg, VA, formally of Salt lake City, UT passed away October 12, 2009. Maxine and her beloved husband of 61 years, John (Jack) Drummond, are together again in Heaven. She was loved by all who knew her and always blessed others with her wonderful sense of humor and unique personality. Jack and “Max” lived life to the fullest, whether traveling to visit friends and family, or to the Outback of Australia, it was an adventure for her and she made the very best of her life experiences.
She served her country during World War II in the Coast Guard. When visiting “Max” you could always count on a smile on her face and something cooking in her kitchen from a recipe out of her 100’s of cookbooks. She always made you feel welcome to her home and made time for your visit. She was a woman of many talents and interests.
Maxine was born in Ringwood, OK, on September 10, 1920. She was preceded in death by her father, Ross R. Stone; mother, Ethel M. Stone; sisters, Ferne Walker, Juanita Babbit, and brother, Bill Stone.
She is survived by her son, John and daughter-in-law, Kathy Drummond, of Christiansburg, VA; daughter, Nancy and son-in-law, Robert Gressmen, of Park City, UT; sisters, Flava Loeb of Kelso, WA, and Betty Lynn of Camavillo, CA, grandchildren, John Ross and Elsha Drummond, of Salt Lake City, UT, William T. Drummond, of Raleigh, NC, Stacey M. O’Quinn, of Abingdon, VA, Derek and Jennifer Gressmen, of Heber City UT, Tyrel and Emily Gressmen, of Midway UT; great-grandchildren, William and Lucy Drummond, of Salt Lake City, UT, Bailee Gressmen, of Heber City, UT, and Tyrae Gressmen, of Midway, UT. She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews and many beloved friends.
A very special thank you to Pat Lovern, who loved and cared for Maxine as if she was her own mother. Pat become Max’s best friend over the past 2 ½ years, caring for her every need. We would also like to thank Dr. Joe Cacioppo and his wife, Kimberly for the care love and friendship, you both went far beyond what words could express. To a very special hospice nurse, Stephanie Smith, we will never forget your love and care shown to Maxine during these last months. Maxine had a great love for animals, so we ask in lieu of flowers please make donations to the Montgomery County Humane Society. There will be no services held.
