She was born in Ashley County on Jan. 15, 1921, to her parents, Bob, and Geneva Maxwell. Lottie was an amazing seamstress who not only sewed for her family, but also professionally.

Lottie worked in retail at Harrison's Clothing Store in Hamburg, and at the Crown Colony in Hot Springs. She also lovingly crafted handmade quilts for her family and was a fantastic cook.
