Gone too soon at the age of 66 years, Maxine Drover of Labrador City, passed away peacefully on September 2nd surrounded by her loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. Maxine is predeceased by her parents William and Laura Stringer of Caplin Cove.
Left with fond and loving memories are her husband of 47 years Roy, sons Jerry (Renee), Michael (Melissa) and daughter Jill (Conrad). Her grandchildren, who were the pride and joy of her life, Julie, Ryan, Finley, and Rowan. Also left with treasured memories her brothers Tom (Darlene), Wade (Audrey) and sisters Linda (John), Eileen, Joan (Wayne), Donna (Walter), Dale (Arron), Yvonne (Craig). Brothers and sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces and a huge circle of friends.
Maxine, formerly of Caplin Cove, had a larger than life personality and lit up a room when she entered it. She was loving, funny and had a kind and generous heart. If you met her, you didn’t forget her. She had a wicked sense of humour, loved music, a good scuff, a night at her cabin with a nice fire but mainly the company of her family and friends. Maxine will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. May she rest in peace.
Visitation will take place at Fewer’s Funeral Home, Little Hearts Ease on Wednesday, September 4, 2024 from 7 – 9 p.m. Funeral service 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 5, 2024 at St. Mary’s Anglican Church, Hodge’s Cove with interment to follow at the United Cemetery, Caplin Cove.
The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to the staff at the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre and the Dr. G.B. Cross Memorial Hospital for their compassion and care during her time of illness, your kindness will not be forgotten. The family would also like to thank each and every person for their love and support during this difficult time. Memorial donations may be made to the Dr. H. Bliss Cancer Centre in Maxine’s memory.
Forever in our hearts.
“See you in the morning when the clock goes off”

September 4, 2024 at 1:22 pmJill and Conrad, so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She was such an amazing woman. I always remember her smile, humour, kindness and patience from the summers I volunteered under her as a VBS helper/teacher and at church back in the day. She touched so many lives of young people in our community growing up. I hope your memories of her bring you and your family some peace during the difficult grief journey that lies ahead.
