💖 About Mary Maxwell

Mary Phillips Maxwell was a wonderful mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and more. She was an extraordinarily talented multimedia artist, singer, and musician. She loved nature, classic movies, the Oregon coast, Scottish Terriers, and The Beach Boys. She had the biggest smile and the most contagious laugh. She was kind to people and animals, generous, funny, creative, and courageous. She was her daughter’s, Erin’s, biggest fan. Nobody cheered louder at diving meets, band concerts, and competitions than Mary. Mary always said that the best thing she ever created was her daughter, and her daughter never doubted she meant it. Mary was also in chronic pain for years. Opioids were prescribed to end the pain. Unfortunately, a different kind of pain began that lasted for decades and resulted in her death. Part of Mary’s legacy is about transcending that pain and suffering and helping to end the suffering of others. Whether new to recovery, moving through a difficult transition, returning to recovery, experiencing mental health challenges, trauma, or homelessness, or are now wanting to give back in service to others—Recovery Café Muncie welcomes all to join in recovering their true, authentic self!
