more information to follow

Maxcine was born in Eastland County,

went to school in Comanche County,

and lived on a farm with a barn in a third

county (their farm was sitting on county

lines separating three counties). Born into a family that included

eight children, her mother passed away when Maxcine was

fifteen years old. Though she had little experience, of necessity

she assumed the duties of homemaker and childcare. Later,

Maxcine and Paul Eugene Rowch eloped. Two days after

marrying Paul, he entered the U.S. Army and served for five

years. After WW2, her husband found work with Warren

Petroleum. He was transferred a couple of times during his

career, but was back in Eastland County by the time that he

retired in 1979.

At age fifty, Maxcine went to nursing school to become an

LVN. For the next thirty years she worked in hospitals, nursing

homes, and private homes. When her husband of forty years

passed away in 1981, one of the first challenges she met as a

widow was buying a car and buying a house alone for the first

time in her own name. In 2000, Maxcine moved to Midland to

be near her daughter, who taught history at a private school.

She also had one son who lived in Kentucky after retiring from

the U.S. Navy. Maxcine has five grandchildren and eleven great

grandchildren.

After the death of her husband, Maxcine made numerous

overseas mission trips, including visits to Kenya, Jamaica,

Bulgaria, Guatemala, and Scotland (where she also went

hunting for the Loch Ness monster). In most countries the

mission team was able to openly teach the Bible to others,

but in a few instances they would teach the English language,

using the Bible as their text book. Maxcine was a teacher with

World Bible School for many years. She says that if she could

live outside the U.S., she would move to one of the third world

countries because they are so receptive and appreciative of the

opportunity to study the Bible.

Maxcine’s favorite Bible verse is Isaiah 40:31:

But they that wait on the Lord shall renew their

strength, they shall run and not be weary and they

shall walk and not faint.
