Madeline Nellie Hein was born in Brooklyn, New York on October 26, 1942, to her father Albert Hein and mother Nellie Curreri. Madeline and her younger brother Albert lived on Knickerbocker Avenue and graduated from Bushwick High School in Brooklyn, New York in 1960. Madeline was 16 years old when she met the love of her life, Anthony Fiore in Calvary Pentecostal Church. Anthony was 18 years old when they met, and they got married two years later, April 15, 1961. Madeline and Anthony had five children, Timothy, Paul, Lois, John and Eunice, and grandchildren Johanna, Martha, James, Abigal, Deborah, Hanna, Jonah, Isabella and Angelina, and great-grandchildren Anthony Zito, Esther Sweed, and Allison Zito.
Before Madeline and Anthony had children, Madeline worked at Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and while they raised their children, Madeline quit her job to become a housewife. Anthony and Madeline lived on Melrose Street in Brooklyn for five years and bought their first home on Shepard Avenue in Brooklyn. In 1968 they moved to 103rd Street in Ozone Park Queens and in 1977 they moved to Castle Avenue in Westbury Long Island.
As her children got older, Madeline went to work as a secretary, including at High School West for seven years, and she retired from Half Hollow Hills School in Long Island in 2012. Madeline worked in the school office and joked that she never knew that parents could make up better excuses for lateness or absences than their children.
When asked about her hobbies, Madeline listed shopping, cooking, traveling, tending a vegetable garden, and trying new recipes. However, Madeline two great loves where her love for God and her family. Madeline will be remembered for her outer and inner beauty, her sense of humor, contagious smile, unique laugh, and mostly her desire to care for and please others.
