She was born Nov. 12, 1915, in Louisville, Ky., to Morgan and Audrey Risner. Ralph and Maxine Spencer were wed in Alger, Ohio, March 14, 1932. They moved to Yuma in 1948. Maxine spent her 90 years as a homemaker, mom and avid craft artesian as well as managing a giftware store. In 1985 Maxine and Ralph moved to Chino Valley, Ariz. Maxine expanded her craft sales and took up quilting at age 80. In 2000, illness forced Maxine into a care center in Goodyear, where a craft shop was dedicated to her.
