Family was the center of Maxyne's world-she was beaming from the front row at all her children and grandchildren's events. Nothing made her more proud than her family-she was quick to show the latest photos. She enjoyed cooking, photography and any craft project.

Maxyne was a 47 year member of PEO, Chapter GH and an Eastern Star.
Since 1972, she participated in the Annual Holiday Bazaar at St James and was a Founding member of the Tuesday Crafters. Maxyne was known for her bows, creativity and crafting abilities. She was active in several civic and community organizations, serving on many boards.
Maxyne is survived by her three sons: Scott Brannon (Dawn Lodl) of Omaha; Mike Brannon (Amy) of Fremont; Curt Brannon of Elkhorn; and daughter, Steffenie (Jack ) Morine of Blair, NE. Brother, Donald Steffen of Bradenton, FL, and Brother In Law, Rollie Stroh of Grand Island, NE.
Maxyne was the most proud of her grandchildren: Shae Brannon of Los Angeles, CA; Miranda (Teddy) Turnblacer of Fredrick, MD; Ian and Halle Brannon of Elkhorn; Hannah and Abbey Morine of Blair, NE. And 1 year old Great Granddaughter, Sofia Turnblacer.
