MAXINE PRISNER

Maxine "Mac" Mae Prisner, 84, of Palmyra, Missouri, died November 12, 2017 at Hannibal Regional Hospital in Hannibal, Missouri.

Mrs. Prisner was born July 25,1933, in Paloma, Ill., to Jessie James and Ola Tina Hibbert Tournear.

She was married to Chester Prisner on August 1973 in Taylor, Mo. He survives.

Maxine worked manufacturing cable harnesses for Harris Broadcast for 23 years. Maxine loved her family with all her heart. She loved any place she was, as long as it was with her beloved husband, Chester. Max, as her friends called her, enjoyed quilting, working in her memorial garden, and cooking. She made the best noodles, fresh apple cake, and just about anything a person could cook.

She was an excellent housekeeper. She enjoyed feeding birds, but her favorite birds were red Cardinals, wrens and Blue birds. Maxine also enjoyed going to horse and mule shows with Chester and her son, Cameron. In years gone by she and Chester were avid trap shooters. Home was truly where her heart was, but she also frequented The Golden Corral, fish fries, pancake suppers and the Fall Creek auctions.

Maxine will always be remembered by family and friends for her honesty, dedication, loyalty and her big heart. She will be forever missed by many, especially her family. She was Baptist by faith.
