Mrs. Maxcine Geter Stewart

March 20, 1940 - June 28, 2021

Maxcine Geter Stewart of Bowdon, Georgia entered this world on March 20th 1940. She traded it for a new home with her Maker on June 28th 2021. There is no doubt she heard our Lord say” Well done, my faithful servant.” Maxcine was the oldest of five children born to JL & Ina Geter. She was taught to work hard from a young age. It was a trait passed from mother to child for many generations, a trait Maxcine valued and shared with her girls & grandchildren. Most who knew her would agree she was one of the hardest working women they knew. Commitment was another virtue she inhibited. In 1958 she pledged her commitment to Curtis Ray Stewart. When she said “till death do us part”, she meant it with every fiber of her being. Life together on the farm brought many unexpected twist and turns including five beautiful girls; Rita (Walt) Mintz, Ronda Phillips, Robbie (Tim) Caldwell, Lorie (Scott)Teal, Kelly (Chuck) Yarbrough. Curtis and Maxcine had 13 grandchildren; Scot, Jay (late), Lee, Erin, Stewart, Nathan, Ethan, Eli, Tori, Josh, Jessie, Sammie and Maggie and 4 great grandchildren, Grayson, Reed, Oak and Tessa. After Curtis passed away, Maxcine married Ed Wheeler who loved her with all his heart. Maxcine retired as a bus driver from Carroll County School System. She worked hard on the family farm every day her body would allow. She was a member of Sardis Baptist Church where she loved singing in the choir. During her last days on earth, she enjoyed beautiful flowers and precious visits from family and friends. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, July 1, 2021, 2:00 at Sardis Baptist Church. Reverends Kevin Geter, Greg Norred and Darnell Teal will officiate. Interment will follow in the church cemetery. Prior to services, her body will lie-in-state at the church from 1:00 until the funeral hour. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Wednesday, June 30, 2021 from 4:00 until 7:00
