Maxine Pomeroy passed away peacefully on July 7, 2025, in Gig Harbor, Washington, at the age of 91. She was born on October 6, 1933, in Seattle and spent much of her childhood in the mountain town of Lester, Washington, nestled in the Cascade Mountains.

She was also a gifted seamstress and quilter, known for her beautiful handmade creations that she lovingly made for her family.

Maxine was deeply loved by her family. She is survived by her four children: Vickie Lackman (Wayne), Susan Wittenberg (David), Stuart Pomeroy (Linda), and Lisa Brawn. She also leaves behind eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Maxine’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her—a legacy of warmth, creativity, and a life well lived.
