In Memoriam<\/h2>\n

\"Maxine
\nMaxine Hermens, \u201969, <\/b>passed away Oct. 6, 2017 at age 78 after cardiac arrest at her home in La Grande. Following acute kidney failure while attending her favorite college basketball tournament (WCC), Maxine was on dialysis for two years prior to her death. <\/span><\/p>\n

Maxine earned a degree in elementary education from the University of Idaho, and in 1960 she met Richard and began a marriage that lasted 56 years. The family moved to La Grande, where she taught as a substitute teacher at various elementary schools. Maxine received her master\u2019s in elementary education from EOU, and went on to work in the registrar\u2019s office for 12 years. She loved working with diverse students and kind coworkers, while also participating in the EOU Faculty Gourmet Club. <\/span><\/p>\n

She is survived by her husband Richard, sons Leonard and Michael, and daughters Louise and Joyce. Maxine received joy in her life from nine grandchildren.<\/span><\/p>\n

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate generosity to the À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Foundation in her name (One University Blvd., La Grande, OR 97850).<\/span><\/p>\n
