Opal Maxine (Walker) Algeo

Opal Maxine (Walker) Algeo, 95 of Aztec, NM, passed away on Monday, December 21, 2015. She was born on April 10, 1920 to William Clinton and Sarah Melcina (Patterson) Walker in Meridenn, KS.
Maxine was born one of 7 children during the depression years; a very difficult time, but one that instilled strength and perseverance which served her all her life.
She experienced a life changing event at age 29 when she accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior. She was never the same. Maxine's life focused on her faith and dedication to family. She always believed that when Christ came into your life there would be a change in the way you lived your life that others would know and see. Maxine lived her life steadfast and true to her Lord. She was a dedicated wife, mother and sister and a real example of a godly woman - faithful, generous, hard-working and wise.
Maxine was preceded in death by her husband of 52 years Floyd Edward Algeo; parents Clinton and Sarah Walker; brothers Vern, Gus and Don Walker; and sister Velma Carter.
She is survived by her son David (Alfrieda) Algeo; daughter Donna Talley; brother Leo Walker; sister Joanne Melton; grandchildren Nathan, Brian, and Sarah Talley, John Algeo, and Dana (Chris) Manwell; and great grandchildren Emily and Matthew Talley, Daytin Derrera, Devin Manwell, and Kaydra Algeo.
