Dear God, today we give you Maxie Louise Beard Fair, age 79, of Azle, after a brief battle with cancer.
Visitation was from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11, at Biggers Funeral Home. A funeral service is slated for 2 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 12 in Biggers Funeral Chapel.
She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. Maxie was known for her talents as a seamstress, cook, decorator and crafter, and she was a passionate sports fan.
