Tootsie was born in Andrews, NC and has called Cobb County Georgia home for over 50 years. She was cheerful, a practical joker and a hard worker. She and her husband, James, were the former the co-owners of Perfection Sound Studio in Smyrna. She worked as a licensed hairstylist for many years. She was a devoted member of Milford Baptist Church and a member of the Golden Tones Choir. They frequently sang for the congregation at Milford Baptist as well as at dinners, nursing homes and other special events. She also loved the outdoors, fishing and working in her flower garden. She loved the mountains and her second home at the beach. Tootsie and her husband, James, enjoyed camping, deep sea fishing and travel. Tootsie supported her husband as he traveled and sang in a gospel quartet. Maxine was a very compassionate person. She took care of her mother-in-law, Viola (Mimmy) until her passing at 101 years old. In the last few years, Tootsie found comfort in reading her Bible daily.
