Mrs. Burgin, the daughter of Maude Vernon Slagle and Dulcie Velma McEntyre Slagle, was born on April 6, 1925, in Chicota, Texas.

McCuistion Regional Medical Center where she remained for almost 10 years. Maxine was a member of Chicota Baptist Church. She enjoyed talking on the phone daily to her family and friends.
