September 8, 1915 to September 5th, 2009

MRS. MAXINE LUCILLE CROTEAU passed away peacefully after a short illness. She can finally join her husband Aime who has patiently been waiting for his dancing partner.

Maxine is survived by two daughters, Janice (Ken Wachtler) and Roxie (Andrew Smith) along with 4 grandchildren, Darren (Kim), Marnie, Devon and Clayton and two great granddaughters Fara and Cate Aimee, one sister-in-law Edith (Pease Bosch), and one nephew Wayne (Clink) Smith. Maxine was born, raised and lived all her life in Milk River. She is the last surviving member of her family. Her parents were Anna and Fred Pease, brothers Fay (Margaret) Pease, Lynn (Edith) Pease, Roy Pease, one sister Pam (Harry) Smith and one nephew Don Smith.

Thanks to the Milk River Hospital and Extendicare Staff for their excellent care of our mother.

God's flower garden needed her. She will be doing what she loves best taking care of the flowers in Heaven. After she finds a ""foursome"" for her beloved Bridge Game you will find her in the garden. She was always ready with great advice and willing to help everyone. Right to the end she had a wonderful sense of humor.

At Maxine's request there will be no funeral. In lieu of flowers we ask that you please make a donation to the Milk River charity of your choice.
