Maxine Tatum
October 20, 1934 — January 9, 2024
Maxine Virginia Tatum, 89, of Randallstown, Maryland, went to be with her beloved Savior on Tuesday, January 9, 2024.
Born on October 20, 1934, in Richmond, Virginia, she was the daughter of the late Howard Lee Tatum and the late Essie Mae Tatum (nee Lewis).
Maxine was passionate about the Scriptures and spent many years studying the Hebrew language. She taught Sunday School and led Bible studies for many years as a member of Northwest Baptist Church and formerly of Colonial Baptist Church. She loved spending time with her family and friends. She also enjoyed traveling. Whether it was a bus trip with her sisters or traveling with her brother to visit family in Florida, she found great joy in making memories and going on adventures. Most of all, she loved sharing the joy of the Lord and spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by those who knew her. She has fought the good fight and finished the race. She has kept the faith. (2 Timothy 4:7)
