Maxine Knight Noble McLean was born at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii on May 11, 1933 and passed away peacefully with her husband of 65 years by her side on September 26, 2020.

 

She was the daughter of Lt. Col.

She married Lt. Col. William W. McLean, Jr. on July 10, 1954 in San Antonio, Texas.  His Air Force career provided many travel opportunities for the couple and their two children, Captain Mark N. (m.
