Obituary

Ms. Maxine Louise Poole, daughter of Emma Cleveland Davis and Sam Carbin, was born on September 9, 1931 in Detroit, Michigan. One of four children, Maxine was resilient, diligent, and a deeply devoted woman of God. Known for her quick wit and straightforwardness, Maxine commanded a high level of respect. She was a long-time member of both St. Paul United Methodist Church and Detroit Calvary United Methodist Church where she was a faithful usher, attended Bible study, and was an active member of the United Methodist Women.

On December 24th, 2021 at 1:26pm, Maxine transitioned to be with the Lord. She was preceded in death by her parents: Emma and Sam; her aunt: Bessie Mae Puitt; her uncles: William, John, and Dewitt Cleveland; her grandsons: Kevin Carbin and Michael Lewis; her sisters: Jeanette Pettway and Lorraine McCoy; and her daughter Joyce Carbin.

She leaves behind to mourn her brother: Edward Carbin (Barbara); her son: Walter; her daughters: Gail (Frenchie) and Karen (Peter); her grandchildren: Johnny, Robert, Lynnedra (Tyrone), Glendra and Summer Joy; her great grandchildren: Micha, Johnathan, Steven, Linnea, Ocean, Summit, Tanaija, Teanna, RaShontae, RaShante, Elasha, Jovante and Kevin; her great-great grandchildren: Julian, Teanna, Michael, Dwyane, Christian, Matthew, and scores of other family and friends.

There will never be another like Maxine. She will truly be missed and never forgotten.


Psalm 23 (KJV)
A Psalm of David

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
