A Loving Tribute to Maxine Ridout

Great Patron of the Arts and Sugarloaf Fine Arts Camp
by Scott Comer

Maxine Ridout, mother of Nicolas (aka Big Dog) and Ron Ridout graduated from this earth March 2, 2010. She was a "founding parent" of Sugarloaf and in the late 1960's, served on the Sugarloaf Station Foundation Board of Directors. Along with raising two boys, Maxine enjoyed her involvement in church activities, teaching piano (she was my teacher), attending the symphony, and retired as the General Manager of a San Francisco Toyota dealership. Maxine loved to bake for her family and friends and no one was left wanting in her presence.

Maxine was a great supporter of Sugarloaf and made it possible for many financially disadvantaged youth to attend Camp. Maxine and family have requested any remembrances to take the form of donations to the Sugarloaf Station Foundation. Maxine, we are grateful to have shared time with you!  May you rest in peace.
