Maxine Guidry Brown

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Maxine Guidry Brown, beloved mother, devoted wife, and cherished grandmother, who departed this life on January 12, 2026, at the age of 71. Born on April 9, 1954, in Morgan City, Louisiana, Maxine spent her life nurturing her family and creating a warm and loving home.

Maxine devoted herself to her role as a homemaker, where her talents shone brightly. An immaculate house cleaner and passionate cook, Maxine found joy in preparing meals that brought family and friends together. Her loving spirit embraced everyone, enriching their lives with her culinary delights.

A talented crocheter, Maxine lovingly crafted an Afghan for each of her grandchildren, a testament to her enduring affection. She was much more than a grandmother; she was a confidante, a friend, and a source of unconditional love. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she treated each of them equally, expressing her love through time spent with them and the memories they shared.

Maxine also had a deep appreciation for the outdoors, enjoying both hunting and fishing, often sharing these experiences with her family. Maxine also enjoyed spending time with her best friend, Rhonda Comeaux, and her bonus daughter and friend, Lana, sharing many laughs and memories together.
