Maxine, the daughter of Ray and Cora (Anderson) Munsell, was born Feb. 3, 1924, in Riceville. She graduated from Kensett High School in 1941 at age 17. She then moved to Grafton, where she worked at Walk’s Store. Grafton is also where she met her late husband Hugo Boeset. They were married on Oct. 7, 1945, in Albert Lea, Minn. Maxine then helped Hugo raise his two children. The couple later had four children of their own. A few years after Hugo passed away, Maxine and her youngest daughter, Angie, moved to Osage where Maxine began work at the Fashion Corner. While living in Osage, she met Norbert Pint. They were married June 25, 1977, and resided in Forest City. In the years that followed, Maxine worked at Johnson Drug and later was receptionist and switchboard operator at Waldorf College.
Maxine enjoyed baking, decorating, her flower garden, antiques, and most of all spending time with her family. She was an active member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Forest City.
She is survived by her children; Hugh (Jan) Boeset of Naperville, Ill.; Kathy (Stan) Miller of Dallas, Texas; Angie (Deron) Steiner of Montgomery, Ind.; step-daughter Phyllis Norby of Osage; brother Virgil (Ruby) Munsell of Rockford; her sisters Arlene (Ron) Johnson of San Mateo, Calif.; and Lorraine Milloy of Rockford. She is also survived by many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her first husband Hugo Boeset; daughter Barbara Kirchgatter; step-son Don Boeset; and sister Fern Wahl.
