Shear, 102, a long-time resident of Coudersport, passed away at UPMC-Cole, Coudersport, Friday, February 1, 2019.

Shear II, who preceded her in death in January of 1987. She was a graduate of Coudersport High School, Class of 1934 and attended Albright-Knox Art School, Buffalo. She was a homemaker, an artist, and a community activist. Maxine was a very active member of the First Presbyterian Church, Coudersport and served as an Elder and was one of the first female deacons.
