Maxine (Nettleton) Schierman, 84

Maxine (Nettleton) Schierman was born Jan. 18, 1935, in Coeur d’Alene, to Herb and Rose (Hamlin) Nettleton. She was called home to her Lord on July 22, 2019, at the Hospice of North Idaho Schneidmiller House. Growing up she and her sister, Kaye, enjoyed the outdoors — fishing, huckleberry picking and going to Sanders Beach.

Maxine graduated from Coeur d’Alene High School in 1953 and North Idaho College in 1955. Her interest and skills in accounting were utilized in her careers at the U.S. Forest Service, Dingle’s Inc. and the North Idaho College business office, from where she retired in 1999.

Maxine married Don Schierman, in Coeur d’Alene, in 1957, and children Kris, Kerry and Kim soon followed. Her greatest love was being a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Maxine was involved in various women’s organizations such as Mother’s Club, P.E.O., Art Study Club of Coeur d’Alene and Lutheran Women’s Missionary League. Maxine was dedicated to her faith and her church, Christ the King Lutheran. She especially enjoyed choir, Bible Study Fellowship and Precepts Bible studies. She loved music and participated in community choirs and also played violin, saxophone and banjo.

Maxine felt blessed to be able to travel extensively with Don, family and friends, at home and abroad. Visits to Hawaii and Canadian hot springs always held a special place in her heart. She and Don also liked to play cards and dominos with family and friends.

Survivors include husband Don; children, Kristine (Larry) Gibbon, Kerry (Tricia) Schierman and Kimberley (Joel) Bertsch; sister, Kaye Larson; grandchildren, Kelli, David, Riley, Grayson, Seth, Ethan, Lindsey, Nathaniel, John and Sara; great-grandchildren, Katrina, Konrad, Blake, Easton, Cameron, Conner, Carson, Andreas, Lilit, Kira and Bastian; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

A memorial service celebrating Maxine’s life will be held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, July 31, 2019, at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 1700 Pennsylvania Ave., Coeur d’Alene. For anyone who wishes, memorial contributions may be sent to either Christ the King Lutheran Church or Hospice of North Idaho in lieu of flowers.

The family wishes to thank all who cared for and supported them and Maxine in her final days.
