Bertha Maxine (Norris) Higgins was born on February 7, 1920, in Clarinda, Iowa. She is the second of three daughters of George Edward and Bertha Irene (Gorrell) Norris.

Maxine was born, lived, and died in Clarinda. It was the only place she wanted to live her life. Maxine was baptized and a life-long member of the First Christian Church, Disciples of Christ in Clarinda. She lived her Christianity quietly and steadfastly.

Maxine graduated from Clarinda High School with the Class of 1938. On January 14, 1939, Maxine was united in marriage in Clarinda, Iowa to Archie Raymond Higgins, son of James Marsh and Maude Mabel (Guthrie) Higgins. Maxine and Archie were blessed with four children: Edwin, Rodney, Janice and Chris.

While Archie enjoyed gardening, hunting and fishing, Maxine enjoyed housekeeping and taking care of her family. She was an avid reader. She enjoyed reading biographies, autobiographies as well as the daily newspaper. Family and friends have many fond memories of Maxine’s hospitality and cooking: especially her homemade ice cream; hand made noodles; and the multitude of salads at special gatherings.

In 1969, Maxine decided to work outside the home. She worked in the dietary department of Clarinda’s Mental Health Institute. She prepared the food trays required for residents with diabetes or on a low-calorie diet; a feat requiring remembering an ever-changing list of resident requirements.

After retirement, Maxine and Archie enjoyed camping in their trailer throughout the mid-west.

He then worked for Ironhorse Communications where he installed Direct TV until his health forced him to quit. He met Nancy and lived in London, Arkansas a couple years before moving to Red Oak and getting married.

Tom enjoyed sports, shooting guns, especially his cousins 50 caliber rifle, and traveling. His last trip was with his aunt to South Dakota where he saw the missile site in Rapid City. He loved to tell stories, watch westerns and the Arkansas Razorbacks play. He had a keen interest in learning American Indian History, but most all he enjoyed Nancy’s cooking. His most enjoyable times were watching the Blue Angels perform, skydiving and camping with his wife and family. Tom also had a passion for all dogs.
