Maxine was born on July 10, 1934 to Thomas and Ola (Fulk) Mitchell. She and her twin sister Kathleen were born to her parents who had 9 children live to adulthood. Not having a middle name, she proudly took Mitchell as her middle name when she married George E. Fryburger on June 18, 1956. They spent 67 years of marriage side by side before he passed on November 28, 2023. In the early years Maxine worked at the garment factory in Olney before spending her days farming with George.

After they moved to town, she became a care companion. She was strong in her faith and was an example to many. She made it her mission to provide a ready meal to anyone who sat at her table by hunting, growing food, raising meat and milking her beloved Brown Swiss cows. It has been said that more than once Maxine provided rabbit for supper by throwing a hitch pin from atop her tractor. She made several family cookbooks tying together her love of sharing family heritage and family recipes with others. She had a knack for witching wells and found water for many in the area.

Maxine and George had two children, Deborah (Richard) Hanson of Morris, IL and Bradley (Susan) Fryburger of Olney, IL. Maxine passed a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, history, resourcefulness and family pride to her grandchildren; twins Ellen (Tony) Brown and Emily (James) Schoonover, Jennifer (Andrew) Wolanik, Shelly (Phillip) Ahn, Jonathan (Ashley) Fryburger, and Kyle (Valeria) Hanson. She was adamant that her Babies (grandchildren and great-grandchildren) were good because she believed that they were and that they would never be too big to sit on a parent or grandparents lap. She had an endless amount of patience for not only her grandchildren but her great-grandchildren; Rayne Goff, Emma Brown, Cassidy M. Mitchell Brown, Norah Brown, Maggie Ola R. Brown, Tyson Brown, Joelle Brown, Reid Fryburger, twins Mitch and Jack Wolanik, and Brady Fryburger. She was happiest when the table that Grandpa had made was full.

She is survived by her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren; Siblings Ruth Elaine OBrien, Thomas (Glenda) Mitchell, Kay Miller, her twin sister Kathleen Hagen; and her many nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her husband George; siblings Charles Mitchell, Lawrence Mitchell, Lois Hagen and Beulah Brown. She has loved and lost many other close friends, family, and those she considered to be family as well. She believed family was family, no matter how far down the line.

Maxine leaves behind a legacy of good memories, sayings, tips, tricks and most of all, love. She will be missed immensely.

A funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, February 24, 2024 at Kistler-Patterson Funeral Home in Olney, with a visitation beginning two hours prior to service time at the funeral home.

Melba Janice Britton, age 87, of Clay City, Illinois, took her last breath, concluding a prayer surrounded by her family on Thursday morning, July 11, 2024, at her home.

She was born on July 5, 1937, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the daughter of Aaron and Mae Christy (Reeves) Powers. She married Darrel Leon Britton on May 25, 1955, at Hoosier Prairie Church, and their 69 years of love and matrimony did not seem to be long enough.

Darrel and Melba raised their four children Faron, Janet, Alan, and Sandy in Clay City. She was active in the Rebekah's, gardening club, bible study, and CEFS. She had worked for many doctors over the years. She enjoyed time spent camping, quilting, and going for motorcycle rides with Faron and Al. She had also enjoyed square dancing and snow mobile riding in her younger years.

Melba answered to many names over the years, mother, Mammaw, Mabel, Elba, Miss America, Matriarch, and Ma. She was referred to as Mamaw by many who were not blood relatives.

Melba loved to play cards and was regularly accused of cheating, which she adamantly denied with her silly grin and claim to being the Matriarch. She ran the kitchen on most Sundays to feed her large family. She was thrilled to see her family arrive during the summer to help harvest the garden produce. With 12 grandkids, 20 great-grandkids, 1 great-great-grandkid, and a grand-pig, her house was rarely empty but full of life and love. She loved to garden and had won yard of the month on more than one occasion.

She enjoyed church at Community Southern Baptist Church and was quick to encourage everyone to be there with her. She loved God even more than she loved her family. Her smile and hugs gave love and grace to so many even if they didnt know her. To know her was to love her. She will be remembered, missed, and loved by many in our community.

Melba leaves behind her husband Darrel Britton of Clay City; 3 children: Faron (Vonda) Britton of Newton, Alan (Renee) Britton of Orlando, Florida, and Sandy (Al) Meyer of Kell; 12 grandkids: Christy, Shannon, Dawn, Stephanie, Kristopher, Gage, Ashton, Tabatha, A.J., Tamara, Reyce, and Remington; 20 great-grandkids; 1 great-great-grandchild; an aunt: Hazel Reeves of Oklahoma; and several nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws.

She was preceded in death by her parents; a daughter: Janet Hall; siblings: Marlene, Barton, and Kem; and 4 grandbabies.

A funeral ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 14, 2024, at Frank & Bright Funeral Home in Flora. Interment will follow in Clay City Cemetery. A visitation will be held from 12 noon until 2 p.m. on Sunday at the funeral home. Memorial donations are suggested to Clay City Christmas Joy, and these will be accepted through the funeral home.
