Obituary

Maxine Reese Howell

September 20, 2022 – February 5, 2024

Maxine Reese Howell, passed away peacefully in the loving arms of her mama on February 5th, 2024. Maxine, often referred to as Mac Mac, Maxie, and Max, she  was the absolute light and joy of our lives. Max was born on September 20th, 2022 to  the parents Mallie Grice and Jerry Howell Jr. As many know she was born with Zellweger Syndrome, but she never let her diagnoses define her. She loved to sing and “tattletale” any chance she got. Her favorite color was red and she loved watching Bluey. She loved swimming and rocking with anyone who would hold her. She loved shopping at BassPro with her mama and seeing all the fish. Our precious girl can now walk and talk  and we know she ran into the arms of Jesus. She’s more than likely playing fetch and bossing around her puppy pals in heaven. Maxine is survived by her parents, Mallie Grice and Jerry Howell Jr, her maternal grandparents, Allison and Timothy Keating and Carl Wayne and Stephanie Grice, her paternal grandparents, Deonna and Jerry Howell Sr, maternal great grandparents Paul and Delphine Fussell and Jo Ann Grice, paternal great grandparent Donald Hartman, her Aunts Tristan Grice (Justin), Carly Grice, Arizona Whitlock (Robert), Hayley Keating (Tanner), Raylynn Keating, Diamond Perez (Scott), and Angel Howell, her Uncle Leif (Miranda), her cousins Ila and Robert Whitlock and Ryder Perez. The pallbearers will be Tanner Buckley, Leif Grice, Timothy Keating, and Justin Williams. Visitation at McKneely Funeral Home, Amite, from 9:00AM until religious services at 11:00AM on Thursday, February 8, 2024. Services conducted by Bro. Matt Gazaway. Interment Mixon Cemetery, Tangipahoa, LA. In lieu of flowers, we would like to honor Maxine’s mother with monetary donations to assist her in this time of  need.
