Maxine Cleo Fortin Broberg

Maxine was born on April 3, 1935 to the late William “Bing” and Cleo (Grant) Aldous in Indian Lake, New York. As a young girl, she was so proud of winning five dollars in a talent show by tap dancing and becoming the homecoming queen. Maxine stayed very active, she enjoyed the outdoors, drawing and taking pictures. Maxine’s pictures consisted of nature, birds, the weather and her backyard. She also took pictures of her son Scott’s demolition projects and her son Mike’s antics.

Maxine loved her children and everyone she loved she would refer to them as a “brat.” Maxine would take her daily drives by her sons Ron, Mike and Scott Fortin’s homes and business and honk the horn to let them know she was passing by. This special lady will be missed by many family and friends.

Along with her parents, Maxine was preceded in death by two brothers, Paul Aldous and George Aldous; daughter Linda Starnes; and son Larry Fortin. Also, she truly missed her beloved two dogs, Gretchen and Oreo. She is survived by her children, Ret. MSG. Suzanne Fortin of Lawton, Oklahoma, Ron Fortin, Mike Fortin and Scott Fortin, all of Burkburnett; six grandchildren, Ron Jr., Ceclia, Melinda, Sarah, Carl Jr. and Tyler; several great-grandchildren; two sisters-in-law, Cathy Aldous and Penny Aldous; her extended family in upstate New York; and many friends.
