Maxine Catherine Heyman

Maxine Catherine Heyman, 83, of Attica, passed away peacefully Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2023, at her home.

Maxine was born Feb. 24, 1940, in New Washington, to John and Rosa (Ulmer) Walter. She married Sylvan Heyman Jr. on June 19, 1960, in New Washington, and he preceded her in death.

Maxine's survivors include her sons, Ron (Cathy) Heyman of Attica, Doug (Tonya) Heyman of Attica, and Eric (Sharon) Heyman of Monroeville; seven grandchildren, Joe (Heather Niedermeier) Heyman of Attica, Jenn (Reggie Gamble) Heyman of Wakeman, Kate (Ross) Jones of Attica, Steve (Amy) Heyman of Delaware, Elizabeth (Sean) Wurster of Findlay, Jessica Lopez of Florida, and Danny (Carolina) Radebaugh of Germany; seven great-grandchildren, Carolynn and Ronald Heyman of Attica, Phoenyx Gamble of Wakeman, Daniel Jones of Attica, and Aaden, Carina, and Demi Radebaugh, all of Germany; sister-in-law, Judy Walter of Bloomville; two nephews, Kevin (Gail) Walter and Kris (Christa) Walter; and niece, Kara (Scott) Rowlinson.

Maxine retired from Seneca East School District and was a member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Attica where she had various offices at the church and also helped with funeral lunches. Maxine was a 1958 graduate of Attica School, member of American Legion Auxiliary, and had many offices and was very involved with Attica Fair, where she was the recipient of the Irene Martin Service Award in 2008. Maxine and her husband were also very involved with Seneca East Athletics and the building of Cook Field.

Maxine had many priorities in her life that she lived for with faith, family, and her community being some of the most important. Her family always came first, whether it was her children and watching them grow or even all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren watching them in all they were involved with. She never missed anything and there was little time for sitting still and relaxing. Anyone who knew Maxine knows there were no strangers to her throughout her life. She was a friend to all!

Maxine was preceded in death by her parents; husband; grandson, Justin Heyman; and brother, Fred Walter.

Maxine's funeral will be 11 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2023, at Bethlehem Lutheran Church with Pastor Ed Hunker officiating. Visitation for family and friends will be 3-6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 20, 2023, at Lindsey-Shook Funeral Home, Bloomville. Burial will follow services Tuesday at Attica Venice Cemetery.
