Maxine was born on February 5, 1924 in Alma, Nebraska, the eldest of three children born to Ralph Edward and Clara Altheria (Shield) Dunn. She grew up in Atlanta and graduated from Atlanta High School with the next to last class in 1941. On May 18, 1947, Maxine was united in marriage to Frederick John “Fred” Gwinner and they made their home on a farm north of Holdrege for many years. Fred passed away on February 12, 1972. In 1993, Maxine moved into Holdrege and in January 2006 began to make her home at the Christian Homes Care Community.

Maxine and Fred were involved in the National Farmers Organization (NFO). Maxine was also involved with the Democratic Women, the National Sod House Society and the Phelps County Historical Society. She was a life-long member of the Methodist Church holding several offices including a district officer position in the UMW. She was a faithful member of the First United Methodist Church choir in Holdrege for as long as her health permitted. She loved to watch baseball, enjoyed her flowers and garden, playing cards and whistling. She enjoyed traveling and attended the Conference on the Law of the Sea at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, which was very exciting for her.
