Saratoga Springs, NY - Edna Maxine Maahs, aged 94, passed away peacefully Thursday, Oct. 4, 2012, at the Home of the Good Shepherd in Malta. Maxine was born May 30, 1918, in Bradford, PA, the child of Harry Caldwell and Fannie Nobles Caldwell. She graduated from Syracuse University and taught English in Buffalo NY. After a move to Cleveland, when her husband was transferred with the Erie Lackawanna Railroad, she became a reference librarian at the Cleveland Public Library, a job she often said she enjoyed very much. Another transfer took her back to Buffalo where she managed the GNC store at the Main Place Mall in downtown Buffalo (she would often share stories of having to stay at the store during the famed Buffalo Blizzard of '77) and then later managed the GNC Jamestown NY store. She enjoyed retirement years in Florida, South Carolina and Ohio and moved to Saratoga Springs to be close to family in her later years. Maxine was predeceased by her husband, Carl E. Maahs Sr. in 2000; her son, Carl Maahs Jr. in 1997; her brother, Harry Caldwell, Jr., in 2005; her parents, Harry Caldwell and Fannie Nobles Caldwell and her aunts Nellie Nobles Rice and Cora Nobles Henninger.
