Maxine Claire (Pluckhan) Schaller passed away peacefully on Friday April 12, 2019 at the age of 90.

She graduated from Juneau High School in Juneau, WI before going on to earn a teaching degree from Whitewater State Teachers College. She married Daniel C. Schaller in 1950, who also attended Whitewater. She loved to tell the story that in college they had to sit alphabetically, so she sat between Pitts and Potts !!!

Maxine was a phenomenal mother and an accomplished woman, surrounded by many who loved her dearly.   She was a devout member of Santa Cruz Lutheran Church in Tucson, AZ.  She attained her private pilots license in the early 60’s, loved to travel and doted on her 4 grandchildren. Maxine retired from Hughes Aircraft and then went on to substitute teaching until she finally retired in 2008.

Maxine was always up for an adventure; she traveled to Europe a few times, took many excursions with her children and grandchildren and even went whitewater rafting for her 80th birthday!  She is now on her greatest adventure ever. She will be greatly missed…There will be a small service for family & friends at Santa Cruz Lutheran Church on Saturday, May 4, 2019 at 10:30 a.m.
