Edna M. Rowe

Saturday November 2, 2024.

Maxine Rowe, known affectionately as "The Amazing Max," passed away on November 2, 2024, at the age of 69. Born on April 14, 1955, in Sanford, Florida, she spent her final years in Rochester, New York, where she became a beloved member of the community. 

Maxine was a dedicated entrepreneur, running a successful catering business that reflected her passion for cooking and bringing people together. Her culinary skills were matched only by her warm personality, making her a cherished figure among friends and family alike. Known for her humor and energy, Maxine had a unique ability to light up any room and make those around her feel special. Maxine was known for her love of classic television shows, particularly "Murder She Wrote," "Bewitched," and "Beverly Hills Cop." She found joy in simple pleasures, often indulging in candy and chewing gum while cozily watching her favorite programs and movies, including "Naked and Afraid" and any film starring Steven Seagal

A devout Christian, Maxine lived by her motto, "One more day, Lord, one more day," which reflected her gratitude for life and the love she spread to those around her. She was an active member of Grace United Methodist Church, where she contributed her time and talents, embodying her faith in action. She was deeply committed to helping others, dedicating her Saturday mornings to prepare breakfast for the less fortunate, a testament to her generous spirit.

Maxine is survived by her only child, Trina Holloway, and her grandchildren, Brianna, Tyshawn, and Terrell Holloway, along with five great-grandchildren. Her legacy of love, laughter, and community service will continue to inspire all who knew her.

Maxine's impact on her community and her family will be remembered fondly by those who were touched by her warm smile, infectious laughter, and unwavering kindness and will never be forgotten.

The family will receive friends 10-12 noon Friday, November 15, 2024 at The New Horizon Faith Center, 371 Lake Ave. Rochester, NY 14608. A funeral service will begin promptly at 12 noon following visitation.
