Maxine ‘Max’ Ann Neal

Maxine “Max” Ann Neal, 82, was born June 25, 1940. in Electric City, Washington to Wilburn and Suzie Cassal.

Max started her life’s journey in Electric City where she graduated from Bridgeport High School. She had an itch for travel and adventure that took her across the U.S. and landed her in places like the Kitsap Peninsula and Adak, Alaska.

Maxine was not just privy to exploring, she could also pick up almost any art and craft and create something beautiful. Anything from painting flowers or landscapes on antique items to making hundreds of quilts for local cancer patients. Especially in her earlier years, her forte was her Harley; she was never happier then when she was soaking in the freedom on her bike. Max joined an amazing local church where she found faith, comfort, and family bonds. Moses Lake Baptist Church was her home away from home.

Maxine is survived by her children Mike Altig of Vancouver, Christine Boehm of Utah and Deborah Widen of Moses Lake, along with numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and friends such as Barb Ralph. Family will lay her to rest with her parents and other family members in Wenatchee, Washington.

A memorial and celebration of life will be held at at 11 a.m. Jan. 14, 2023, the Moses Lake Baptist Church, 4334 Joann Drive NE, Moses Lake.
