Maxine Foster Wynn's Obituary
Maxine Foster Wynn, 83, of Stanley, passed away on Wednesday, April 15, 2026.
She was born in Charlotte on September 15, 1942, the daughter of the late Doc and Emma Poplin Foster. In addition to her parents, Maxine was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 62 years, Marvin R. Wynn; and her siblings, Smiley Foster and Jimmy Hildreth.
Maxine is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Randy and Shari Wynn of Denver, NC; her daughter and son-in-law, Rhonda and Lee Mincey of Jasper, IN; her siblings, Gail Brown, Debbie Bumgarner, Donna Foster, and Mike Foster; and her cherished grandchildren, Jamie Hill, David Herlong, Peyton Mincey (Chelsea Radimer), Addison Wynn, Conner Wynn, and Andrew Chheda.
Maxine found her greatest joy in spending time with her husband and her grandchildren, whom she loved deeply. She enjoyed attending golf tournaments, relaxing trips to the beach, and staying active through water aerobics. She was an avid dancer, especially known for her love of shag dancing, and rarely missed an opportunity to enjoy music and time on the dance floor.
She was also a devoted fan of NASCAR and cheered faithfully for the Carolina Panthers. One of her favorite traditions was gathering with friends for her Wednesday evening wine nights, which brought her much laughter and companionship over the years.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, 5:00 - 7:00pm, at Cowan’s Ford Golf Club, 761 Club Drive, Stanley, NC 28164.
