Maxine Schrader Everett, formerly of Broad Street in Montoursville, passed away peacefully on Saturday evening, January 30th, at the Muncy Skilled Nursing Unit. She was the daughter of Robert (Bob) and Pauline Kelly Schrader and was born August 28, 1930, on the Schrader Farm near Franklindale, Bradford County.

Maxine was a 1948 graduate of Montoursville High School and over the years was employed at Shaheen Auto Sales, Sylvania Electric, Lycoming College, the District Office of Congressman Allen Ertel and the Defense Logistics Agency along with being a super-mom to her two sons, Garth (Susan) and Chris (Debbie) Everett, and their families.
