Maxine Baram, 78, of Levittown, PA entered into eternal rest on Thursday, January 28, 2016.

Maxine was a devoted wife to her husband, Bernard for 32 years before his sudden death in 1995. Maxine and Bernie met in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, were married in 1963 and moved to Levittown, PA, where they created a wonderful life together based on mutual respect, honesty and profound love.  Maxine was a doting mother to her two daughters, their spouses and five cherished grandchildren.

Maxine’s biggest source of pride and joy was her family. Her happiest moments were experienced during the treasured time she spent with her daughters, her grandchildren, and her beloved pet poodles. She also looked forward to visiting with her siblings in the South each summer. Maxine had wide-ranging taste in music, she loved to dance, shop with “her girls” and had a great sense of personal style.

Maxine was happily employed at Law School Admission Council, Inc., for 28 years, where she held the position as Manager, Document Processing.  She was hardworking, committed to her job and had an innate ability to recognize potential in others and motivate them to achieve their best. She developed many meaningful friendships at her workplace over the years.

Born in Harlan, Kentucky, Maxine was the daughter of the late George W. Smith and Theo Hensley Smith, sister of the late George W. Smith Jr. and Lloyd B. Smith, and aunt of the late Cherie Hall Judd and Jason Smith.

She is survived by her two daughters, Andrea B. Bagnell and her husband, Thomas, of Narberth, PA, Jennifer B. McIlhinney and her husband, Charles, of Doylestown, PA, and her loving grandchildren, Benny, Tommy and Amelia Bagnell, Tripp and Gabby McIlhinney.  She is also survived by her four sisters, Geraldine Wade (Houston), Sylvia Hurier (Chris), Priscilla Hall (Tommy), Shirley Davis (Darrell), her three brothers, Rodney Smith (Nora), William Smith (Trudy), and James Smith (Gail) and her sister-in-law, Tommie Smith.
