Krenkel family

Lillian Krenkel Maxwell

Youngest daughter of James M. and Margaret Krenkel. Her birth helped ease her mother’s grief after Dorothy’s death. Married Colonel Maxwell, a retired Air Force man, and lived in Redwood City. Her mother wrote a poem at her birth: “When sunset merged its shadings with the night / You came to me a tiny helpless mite / To cuddle close and give to me again / The peace and joy that follows after pain.”
