OBITUARY - MAXINE M. (McCONNELL) WION

March 28, 1917 - October 18, 2010

Maxine WION, 93, passed away October 18, 2010, at Methodist West Hospital surrounded by loved ones.

She was born March 28, 1917, on a farm in Union County Northeast of Ellston, Iowa, to Vincen Lee and Amanda HOWARD - McCONNELL. When Maxine was in the fifth grade she moved with her parents and sister, Doris, to an 80 acre farm northeast of Beaconsfield. She graduated from Beaconsfield School in 1934. After walking several years, she met and married Paul WION on December 25, 1940. Their son, Garry, was born July 15, 1942, and their daughter, Lynne was born April 26, 1946.

The family moved into Beaconsfield in 1946 after purchasing two buildings; one became their home, the other became their business (garage and Standard Oil service station). She called Beaconsfield home for almost 60 years. She moved to Earlham, Iowa, to be closer to family and lived in her own apartment until May, 2010, at which time she became a resident at the Community Care Center in Stuart, Iowa.

Maxine was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Paul, and her sister and brother-in-law, Doris and Laren MAGGARD.

Maxine is survived by her son Garry (Kay) WION of Walker, MN, and by her daughter, Lynne (Robert) WALDION of Earlham, Iowa.
