Marie Maxine Pruett Preslar
On Saturday, July 7, 2012, this beautiful 82 year old child of God was returned home. She was surrounded by her loving family and friends. She no longer suffers the pains of a critically ill body. She is now free of all pain, rejoicing and singing praises with our awesome God.

Maxine was born April 18, 1930 in Eastland, Texas to H. L. Lewis and Lydia Esther Farmer Pruett. She was the blessing they had prayed to receive for 11 years. Her father preceded her in death just one month shy of her third birthday. Her mother preceded her in 1989. Maxine and her mother moved to Odessa in 1947 when her Mother took an Elementary Teaching position.

Maxine Pruett and Lyndal B. Preslar USMC, and the Odessa Fire Department, were married January 10, 1950 in Tatum, New Mexico. They made their home in Odessa, where Maxine was employed with ECISD for 26 years, first with Austin Elementary and then Crockett Junior High. Maxine doted on her family, and enjoyed every chance she had to spend time with them. She loved to shop, travel, and play with her little dogs, Fancy and Taffy. Her husband preceded her in death on January 14, 2010.

Maxine lived her final years in her home in Gardendale, Texas, near her daughter, Len. She leaves her daughter, Lydia Len Redmon her adopted daughter, Rhonda Roni Thornton her son, Charlie Kirkpatrick and his wife, Beth Lyn her granddaughter, Cari Lyn Loffler and her husband, Jesse her granddaughter, Reisa Rozwalka two greatgrandsons, Michial Thomas Hesson and Sawyer Dylan Simpkins one greatgreat granddaughter, Ciera Nicole Hesson her dear cousin, Becky Anz and her best friends, Katrina English, Stephanie Rozwalka, and JJ Armstrong USMC.
