Maxine, daughter of Francis and Forest Murnighan, joined her heavenly father at age 88 on November 15, 2013. She passed peacefully in her Howell home after a lengthy illness.
Mickey spent her life teaching us, by example, faith, dignity, grace, compassion and unconditional love. Her glass was always "half-full", seeing the good in everyone and everything.

Additionally, Mickey was blessed with thirty-three grandchildren, twenty-seven great grandchildren and many nieces, nephews and friends.
Mickey was preceded in death by her husband, Elmer Smith; mother, Francis Murnighan; father, Forest Murnighan; and brother, John Murnighan. She will be greatly missed by her family.
