Marilyn Michele Maxwell

Marilyn Michele Maxwell, 50, passed away Monday, October 10, 2022, after a valiant 2 1/2 year battle with cervical cancer. She was my sweetheart of 10+ years, and mother to Christopher, 27. She raised Christopher on her own as a single mother, and ever since he developed Autism at a very early age, spared no trouble or expense in getting him into the best therapies and special-needs schools she possibly could. She and Christopher were thrilled to purchase and move into their very own townhome in the Houston area about 13 years ago.

For the last 15 years, Marilyn was a Training and Member Outreach Specialist for the Houston Association of Realtors. She absolutely loved her job. This was easy to see by all who had opportunity to take one of her classes, including me. Her infectious smile, always-kind demeanor, and her excellent, slightly snarky sense of humor earned her the love & admiration of thousands of Houston area Realtors. She will be sorely missed.

Her happy place was the beach, or anywhere else that she could be together with her two special guys.

Marilyn lost both of her parents to cancer in just the last few years. Father, James Michael “Mike” Maxwell in August of 2011, and Mother Kay Jones Maxwell in March of 2015.

She is survived by me, Kip Martin, her son Christopher, and her brother Cliff Maxwell and wife Melissa, and their sons Lucas and Nicolas, who loved their Aunt Marilyn very much. For those of you who know Christopher, please be comforted, as I am, by the fact that he has gained a father and sisters that he never had, and we have gained a son and brother that we never had.
