Irean was a special lady, who lit up the room upon her entering. All of Library Services employees liked to work with her. Linda & I felt blessed to have her as a friend, not just an employee. We were all fortunate to be touched by knowing Irean.
Our condolences to her family.

Sweet Mrs. Madden. A Columbus Hilltop Wheatland Ave Great. Growing up Mrs. Madden was a role model and a one of a kind person in the community. I would just melt when she would call my mom and tell her would you have Little Roy call me I need him to wash my windows and it was a pleasure to go because she would talk about old times and turn on WVKO and have a great lunch for me. Not many people like Mrs. Madden around anymore but one thing I will always remember her special charm and 397 So. Wheatland Ave will always be in my heart we're Sweet Mrs. Madden lived. God bless the family. Love Roy Pollard Jr
