Maxine was the oldest of nine children and the ONeil family moved to Danville in 1953. Maxine became a mother figure to her younger two siblings after their mothers passing. Maxine worked at Bohn Aluminum for 39 years before retiring. In her spare time, she began baking cakes, word spread of how delicious they were, and she then had a second job. Maxine loved having family gatherings for any holiday and she was always there to help anyone in need. We are blessed to call her mother, grandma, sister, aunt and friend. She will be deeply missed.
