Maxine Brewer Nunn

May 12, 1934 — May 24, 2024

Snow Camp

Savannah “Maxine” Brewer Nunn, 90 years old, died peacefully at her home in Snow Camp, NC, Friday, May 24, 2024.

She was born in Chatham County, NC, May 12, 1934, to Wrenn Claude and Esta Stout Brewer. She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband, James Nunn, whom she was married to for 55 years; her granddaughter, Amanda Hope Lockhart; her sister, Grace Brewer Moody; and special friends - Robert Brooks and Wayne Horton.

She is survived by her daughter, Cynthia Nunn Pegram (Buster), of Pleasant Garden, NC; sons, Keith Nunn (Diane), Gary Nunn (Rita), both of Siler City, NC; brother Claude Brewer (Karen), of Dallas TX; sisters, Sylvia Moore and Faye Brooks, both of Siler City, NC; sisters-in-law, Dorothy Binder (Jerry), of Myrtle Beach, SC, Trudy Waters, of Emerald Isle, NC, and brother-in-law, Ronnie Haugle of Mebane, NC.

Maxine had 6 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren, and 2 great great-grandsons. She is also survived by a host of loving and devoted nieces, nephews, and church family.

The two most important things in her life were her church and her family. She was a member of Rocky River Baptist Church for nearly 80 years, where she was very active.

Retiring from Chatham Medical Specialists was her “official retirement” but she never really retired. She led a very active social life, was a woman of many talents and was fiercely independent. She was a fashion diva who loved to “sparkle”. In her spare time she loved to garden, read and cook. She was a giver in every sense of the word – always remembering others with cards, gifts, food, and calls.

The family had just celebrated her 90th birthday with a party; her friends, neighbors, and family giving her a wonderful unforgettable day. She will be missed by all that knew her.

The funeral service will be held on Thursday, May 30, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. at Rocky River Baptist Church, 4436 Siler City Snow Camp Road, Siler City, NC 27344; with Rev. Al Marguerat and Dr. Greg Burris officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends after the service in the fellowship hall.

The family request memorials be made to Rocky River Baptist Church Cemetery Fund.
