Maxine R. Smith
Former Dress Shop Owner, Gourmet Cook
Maxine R. Smith, 89, of Tallahassee, Fla., died peacefully in her sleep on June 27, 2002.
A resident of Tallahassee since February 2001, Mrs. Smith was born in Blenco, Iowa on Jan. 23, 1913.
Mrs. Smith, a vivacious redhead, owned and operated a dress shop in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Fla., for many years. She was married to Harold W. Smith for 52 years. Mr. Smith owned and managed many fine restaurants including Smitty's Driftwood Club in Boca Raton Fla., Talk of the Town and Vince Perones in Greenville, S.C. Mrs. Smith was often seen working by her husband's side and was a gourmet cook. Together they raised two children, Kenneth S. Shaffer of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and Barbara Maxine Low of Epping, N.H.
Mrs. Smith's favorite place to be was Horse Cove in Highlands, where she and Mr. Smith summered. Mrs. Smith enjoyed mining the hills around Highlands for jewels with her family. Perhaps her favorite pleasure was to sit on the back porch in her robe while the dew was still on the grass. She would watch her beautiful hummingbirds and sip coffee while telling stories or singing songs to any of her 15 great grandchildren who visited often. Mrs. Smith's love for Horse Cove was contagious and her 15 great grandchildren will surely pass that passion on for many future generations.
A memorial service will be held on July 13, 2002 at 2p.m. at the Church in the Wildwood in Horse Cove, N.C. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Mrs. Smith's honor to the Horse Cove Cemetery, c/o Donnie Edwards, P.O. Box 897, Highlands, N.C. 28741.
