Maxine Yvonne Newman was born on April 1,1938 in Hanover County, Virginia. She departed this earthly life for her heavenly home on July 11, 2021 to be with her loved ones that preceded her in death: her husband Samuel Newman Jr., and her mother and father, Earl and Bernice Tinsley. At an early age, she accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at First Union Baptist Church in Mechanicsville, Virginia. She was educated in the Hanover County School System. Maxine moved to New York City and resided in Harlem for over 35 years. While in New York, she worked at the prestigious Lorge School during the early 1980s. She later worked at the Housing Preservation Department (HPD), and retired from this position in 2000. After retiring she returned to Virginia. She leaves to cherish her memories three beloved daughters: Aja Karen Newman, Sherri Newman and Collette Franklin (Spouse: William) ; a son Joseph Smith, Jr.; an adored grandson, Lloyd Newman, a great grandson Lloyd Newman III; and sisters Phyllis Savage and Joyce, Diane Brown (Spouse: Richard); and brothers Ralph Tinsley (Spouse: Van), and William (Mingo) Allen (Spouse: Judy). The family takes great comfort in knowing that she is now in heaven with her beloved dog Panda, who she loved just as much her children. She was a loving and wonderful mother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. She will truly be missed by all who loved her.
