Maxcine and Red Williams were married in Oregon in 1927 and came to Juneau, Alaska in 1928 working in the restaurant trade. In 1930 Maxcine went to work for Fred Ordway in the photo business, which included developing and printing some of Father Hubbard's photos and the U.S. Navy aerial mapping photos. The Ordways died in a plane crash.

After a time outside Alaska, the Williams returned and Maxcine worked for Juneau Florists. J.P.Anderson, the owner had three greenhouses in Juneau and a good business. Maxcine became good friends with Ada (White) Sharples who wrote a book on Alaska wild flowers and met Dr. Eric Hulten who also wrote a book on Alaska flora.

In the late 30's the Juneau Botany Club was formed and members received instruction and assistance from J.P.Anderson. Maxcine was very active in the club and put out a newsletter; also joined club members on field trips to collect botanical specimens. The herbarium of the club and information on the specimens was donated to the Alaska State Museum.
