AIKENS
MRS. MAXINE BODDEN
A Homegoing Celebration for Mrs. Maxine Ford Bodden, of Tampa, Florida, who passed away on Saturday July 31, 2021, was held on Tuesday, August 10th, 10:00 a.m. at St. Peter Claver Catholic Church, 1203 N. Nebraska Ave, Tampa, FL, 33602, Pastor Agustinus Seran officiating. The interment will be held at The Florida National Cemetery of Bushnell FL.
Mrs. Maxine Ford Bodden was born November 20, 1938, in Detroit, Michigan. She was born to the late Ernest Ford, Sr., and Alice (Moffett) Ford, the fourth of six siblings. She was 6 when her father passed away and 9 when her mother passed away. She and her siblings were raised by their aunt, Ida Mae Pew.
After graduating from Cass Tech High School, she helped raise her sister’s children. In 1963, Maxine went to visit her older brother, Ernie, who was stationed in West Point, NY.
During that visit he intro- duced her to one of his closest friends who would become the love of her life, Joseph P. Bod- den, Sr. She remained in West Point working as a nurse’s as- sistant at the hospital and as a hostess at the Officers Club.
She and Joe were married December 26, 1964. During years of multiple deployments, both stateside and abroad, Max- ine was a devoted, supportive wife and loving, caring mother.
In 1980, with their 2 children getting older, Maxine and Joe chose to establish roots in Har- risburg, PA, so the children could have stability. As Joe was wind- ing down his military career, both he and Maxine embarked on careers with the Commonwealth of PA.
Maxine served in many ad- ministrative roles, the longest working with the Department of Public Welfare. In July 1998 Maxine and Joe decided to retire from the Commonwealth of PA and relocated to Florida, settling in Valrico. Not one to stay idle, Maxine began working with Busch Gardens and Adventure Island in the culinary division, retiring again in 2016.
When not working she loved traveling with Joe, especially cruising and their annual trips to Las Vegas. Maxine also enjoyed bingo, cooking, and shopping. She especially loved shoes, purses, and hats. She also loved hosting large family gatherings at her home.
The family always knew where to be Thanksgiving and Memorial Day. And if they wanted chitterlings on New Year’s Day they knew where to come and that she would have a plate for them.
She was a fiercely loving wife, mother, grandmother, auntie, and friend.
Maxine was preceded in death by: her parents; brothers, Ernest, Jr., Joel, Jerome, and Alphene, and sister Ernestine.
She is survived by: her loving and devoted husband of 56+ years Joseph P. Bodden, Sr.; daughter, Karen Humpheries; son, Joseph P. Bodden, Jr., (Becky); grandchildren, Cameron Humpheries, Jada Humpheries, Madelynn Bodden (Ted), Joseph P. Bodden, III, great granddaughter, Delilah Dillingham; and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
The visitation was held at Aikens Funeral Home on Mon- day. The family and friends met at the church for the service. We are following the CDC guidelines.
