Maxine Irene Kirtland, 90 of Section, passed away peacefully at her home on Wednesday, August 10, 2022. Funeral services were held on Saturday, August 13, 2022 at Macedonia Primitive Baptist Church.
Born and raised in Macedonia, she was the first child in her family to graduate high school. While living in Georgia, she worked 20 years for the Cobb County Schools system as the lunchroom manager at Bellmont Hills Elementary. At this time, she also worked at Smyrna Hospital. She was an important part of her community, working at Highlands Medical Center as a CNA, and after retirement, serving as a volunteer. She was also a member of two Red Hats Societies, in Macedonia and Scottsboro. She loved to travel, not only in the United States, but also abroad. If you said go, she said, “Where to?” She was the cornerstone of her numerous family members and a good friend to many others. Her high-energy approach to life will be sorely missed. If you met her, you would not soon forget little Max.
She is survived by her son, Bill (Debbie) Kirtland; daughter-in-law, Judy Kirtland; grandchildren, Brent (Candie) Long, Sabrina (Ryan) Wells, Oliver (Montana) Kirtland, Adrienne (David) Malone, Travis Stegall, Seth Stegall, Kennedy Kirtland; great-grandchildren, Austin, Nathan, Anastasia, Faith, Grayson, Dawson and Lola Marie. She was preceded in death by her parents, Looney and Mintie Harper; son, Dan Kirtland; daughter, Janis Kirtland; granddaughter, Landis Hildebrand; four brothers; three sisters.
