Maxine Peck Blooding , 99, of Fort Collins, Colorado, passed away on October 27, 2026. She was born on June 6, 1927, in Firstview, Colorado, to Charlie Riley Peck and Mary Florence Hart. She grew up with her siblings Clayton, Irene, and Otis.
Maxine married Lee Blooding in 1946, and together they farmed in the Eads area for 10 years before relocating to Fort Collins in 1956. Maxine devoted many years to serving others through 4-H and the Order of the Eastern Star, where she served as a Grand Officer in 1985. Maxine was "Grandma" for Bethel 28, Jobs Daughters.
One of Maxine's greatest gifts was her generous heart and willingness to help others. She and Lee opened their home to approximately 15 to 20 young people over the years, offering a safe and welcoming place during difficult family situations, health challenges, or simply when someone needed a little extra support. Their home was always a place where others could find friendship, kindness, and a sense of belonging.
Maxine was preceded in death by many beloved friends and family members, including her husband, Lee, son, Lonnie, and granddaughter Courtney.
She is survived by her son, Randie (Kathy Hansen); daughter-in-law, Karen Blooding; daughter-in-law, Sally Perez; granddaughters Heather Clemenson (Michael), Brittney Smiley (Tom), and Riley Mehegan (Michael); and nine great-grandchildren.
Maxine will be remembered for her generous spirit, her dedication to others, and the many lives she touched throughout her 99 years. She leaves behind a legacy of love, friendship, and a home that was always open to those who needed it.
A celebration of Maxine's life will be held on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Christ United Methodist Church in Fort Collins, Colorado. Lunch will be served following the service
