Maxine (Kirk) Holley, 69 of Lone Oak passed away on December 10, 2023, at her home surrounded by her loving family.
She was born on July 21, 1954, to Helen Blankenship and Cecil Kirk in Greenville.
Maxine had a talent for cooking, so much so, that she made it a full-time career and passion by being a chef for A&M Commerce. When she wasn’t in the kitchen, Maxine could be found riding her Harley, camping in the great outdoors, or dancing. Maxine was a Daddy’s girl through and through, and has missed her dad, Cecil, since his passing in 1977. Maxine will be deeply missed by everyone whose lives she touched.
Maxine is survived by her loving husband of 40 years, Mendell R. Holley, Jr.; mother, Helen Dodd; children: Gary Dewayne Wallace and wife Natasha, Mendell “Trey” Holley, III and wife Katie, and Kacie Kaake and husband Russell; grandchildren: Gary Dale Wallace and wife Makayla, Jordan Suits and wife Megan, Zoe King-Davis, Naomi Jefferson, Kaitlynn Holley, Brooklynn Holley, Bruce Kaake and wife Katrina, Dylan Kaake, and Robyn Ewing and husband Colton; 6 great-grandchildren; sister, Karla McDaniel and husband Brett; favorite cousin, Steve Blankenship and wife Debbie; several nieces and nephews; along with a host of loving friends and extended relatives.
Maxine has been reunited in death with her Daddy, Cecil; her brother; and stepfather, Kenneth Dodd.
The family will host a private memorial service at a later date.
