Notes for Meta Maxine “Max” Johnson
Meta Maxine "Max" (Johnson) Andrews, 91, a 58- year resident of Annapolis passed away on Monday, September 26, 2022, at her residence in Ginger Cove. Born on October 3, 1930 in Quincy, IL to the late Virgil and Maddy Mathilda Johnson.

After completing her education, Maxine left Quincy to proudly serve in an administrative role for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In the early 1950's, she was part of a team that investigated the 1947 Texas City disaster, the deadliest industrial accident in U.S. history. She also held posts in Washington, DC, Houston, TX and Boston, MA.

While serving on an assignment in Pearl Harbor, Oahu, she serendipitously met her future husband, Commander (USN) Frank A. Andrews, a widower with five children. Together she and Frank had an additional seven children during their 50+ year marriage. The large family eventually settled in Annapolis where Maxine was a devoted wife and mother, a much loved neighbor/confidant, a champion ten-pin bowler, cat lover, a needle point craftswoman, Navy Junior swim team supporter and parishioner of St. Mary's Catholic Church.

After moving to Ginger Cove, her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren loved to visit her to share memories of the Ferry Farms homestead, eat Sunday popcorn and chili and watch TV football. Maxine was preceded in death by her husband, Frank Andrews and her son, Patrick Andrews. She is survived by her eleven children, her twenty-six grandchildren, her daughter-in-law, Joan, former daughter-in-law, Angelita, and her twelve great-grandchildren.
