She was a beloved Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Aunt and Friend. Madeline's family was the cornerstone of her life, and she cherished every moment spent with her loved ones especially with her sisters. Her home was always open to friends and family, and she welcomed everyone with open arms and a warm meal.

She cherished her memories of traveling with her husband and sisters. Traveling out West, many cruises, Disney World, Washington D.C., and visiting family members out of state.

In her final years she loved her weekly trips to Applebee’s for their onion rings or breakfast at Bob Evans or Wendy’s jr. bacon cheeseburgers and let’s not forget her absolute favorite: Mashed Potatoes. She was always ready to go eat.
