Last April, Maxine was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer - this was an agressive cancer that soon spread to her stomach and lungs. Maxine stayed positive and brave throughout her treatments. She was not afraid, and in doing so, she bestowed faith to those around her. She never gave up fighting, right until the end. She is an inspiration to everyone.

Maxine Ramsey Tarrant died on 5th March 2014, Ash Wednesday. A reminder about the fragility of our bodies, and human mortality. Maxine was fantastic mother and grandmother... and she is very much loved by her children, and grandchildren, but more so by her amazing husband Phil. She brought true joy to those around her.
