Maxine Peet was a news reporter for the Messenger for 24 years, retiring in 1984, after reporting on Messengerland people “from the cradle to the grave”. During her years at the Messenger she was the women’s page editor, wrote feature articles including her “Just Between Us” column, and finished her career covering churches and religion. She died December 18.

This is what a colleague, June Logue, wrote about Maxine: “She loved her job and enjoyed going to weddings, prenuptials, engagement parties, etc. This was Maxine’s world and she loved giving it her best. I found out quickly that I did not enjoy her duties when she took a short vacation one year and Mr. Stevens insisted that I must fill in for her until she returned. Those were the worst 10 days I ever put in on the job and when she returned I told her so. Therefore, she never had to worry about me wanting to apply for her position.”
