Mrs. Maxine Young Mabry Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Maxine Young Mabry, age 93 of Alpharetta, GA passed away May 16, 2022 at her home. Maxine was the oldest of eight children born to the late Chester C. and Emma Young, and was a loving and devoted daughter and sister. She was the apple of the eye to her husband of almost 50 years, the late Leonard H. Mabry, and was a dedicated mother to her children. She had a ready smile, hug and kiss for anyone. Maxine was a faithful member of Castleberry Road Baptist Church in Cumming, GA, and was one of the founding members of the church. She attended Milton High School in Alpharetta, GA and graduated in 1947 before embarking on a career with the former Southern Bell Telephone Company. She was a member of the Telephone Pioneers. Maxine was a skilled seamstress and cook, but her true love was cultivating her flowers and vegetables, which she did with tender love and care. Maxine’s flowers were, for many years, some of the most beautiful in town, and people would often stop and ask permission to photograph them. Maxine was preceded in death by her parents, Chester and Emma; her loving husband Leonard, and her stepson Tony, as well as several brothers and sisters. She is survived by her daughters Michele Ely (Carl), Connie Karr, and Lisa Mabry; her stepson David Mabry (Ruth); her grandchildren Danny Karr (Amy), Kimberly Evans (Chris), Rachele Bertram (Heath), Kristin Ely, Ryan Ely, and Hannah Mabry; three great-grandchildren, Stellan, John, and Rose, as well as her brother Gene Young, and sister JoAnne Swetmon.
