Maxine Delores Witherspoon  (known  by  many  as Jean) daughter of the late Catherine and  William Johnson,  was born  on  January  30th  1938.  She departed  this life on  April 8th 2024.
Maxine attended  schools in  Baltimore City.  She was a hard working  woman  where she dedicated  years to  jobs such  as Misty Harbor, the Orioles Stadium, JC Penny, Giant etc. She received  many  awards and  accolades.  One being  from WJZ News.  Maxine was a very  loving,  supportive,  intelligent, nurturing,  outspoken,  fun,  adventurous,  courageous,  deter­ mined,  feisty,  strong,  helpful and  compassionate human being.  She would  do  anything  and  everything  for anyone who needed it. These traits that she had shown explains why she was such a great mother, grandmother, aunt, foster parent and friend. She was a great adviser.
One of Maxine's favorite things to do was traveling. She also enjoyed  going  to  casinos,  doing  crossword  puzzles,  reading, cooking, watching TV, going to the beach and enjoying good company.  She loved  a good  cup  of Maxwell House coffee. There is one quote she would always say when you asked her how she's doing.  She would  say  "I'm at peace with  the world". She loved to sit around and reminisce because every­ body always had good memories. If you were to ask her right now she would say "I lived a good life".
She was preceded in death by her son Michael, her daughter Annette,  her brothers Robert and  Hayes and  a sister Bertha (Arelia); her aunt Marlene (Cookie); her grandson  Avon  and a great grandson Donald (Dee) and her best friend more like a sister Deloris.
She is survived  by  her children: Richard  and  Andrew; her siblings William,  Alano,  Bernice,  Marie and  Maria; her grandchildren  Nakia,  Asia,  Mykah,  Jewel,  Racquel,  Keara, Kristen, DeAngelo, Xavier, Tariq and a host of great grand­ children,  nieces,  nephews,  cousins,  family  and  long  time friends. She will be missed by many and forgotten by none.
