Maxine Myra Trudeau, age 82, passed away peacefully at home on March 9, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. Born on January 12, 1944, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Max was an artist at heart who found great joy in ceramics classes, where her creativity produced beautiful pieces that her family will always treasure.

She devoted herself to raising her children, who remained the center of her world.
