April 19, 1920 — March 2, 2018

MAXINE E. BOHMONT, 97 of Julesburg, passed away March 2, 2018, at the Sedgwick County Nursing Home in Julesburg, CO.

Maxine was born April 19, 1920, on a farm south of Sedgwick, Colorado to John and Vida Lee (Scott) Wegman. She graduated from Sedgwick County High School with the class of 1939. She then enrolled in a nursing program briefly, before returning home to Sedgwick, where she worked at the library and provided in-home nursing care to new moms.

On August 22, 1943, Maxine married Carl Bohmont, and their union was blessed with three children. Maxine proudly embraced her role as a homemaker and gave herself entirely to her vocation. She was an excellent cook and baker and was devoted to her family and loved ones. Her life was enriched when she and Carl were blessed with grandchildren and great grandchildren and they much enjoyed taking road trips and spending time with them in their homes. Family was truly the focal point in Maxine's life. Many of Maxine's most cherished memories took place over the holidays, which were adorned with delicious food, good laughs, card playing and the sheer joy of being with those she loved.

Most recently, Maxine had been residing at the Sedgwick County Nursing Home, where she received excellent care.

In addition, she is survived by grandchildren and their spouses, Brent Bohmont and Carolyn Brown, of Denton, Texas, Stacy and Scott Lickteig, of Omaha, NE, Aaron Hoffman, of Arvada, CO, Brice and Brandi Hoffman of Thornton, CO, and Laura Helt of Omaha, NE.
