Madelene Vivian (Sedlacek) Stoebner was born on March 29, 1925 to Frank and Sylvia (Jilek) Sedlacek in Scotland, SD.

After graduating from Scotland High School, Madelene became a licensed beautician and worked as such in Scotland for a number of years until marrying Ruben B. Stoebner on September 24, 1946. She moved to the family farm and worked alongside Ruben doing field work, raising livestock and milking cows. They retired from farming in 2004 moving into an apartment in Platte, SD where she was presently living.

Some of Madelene's greatest joys in life were visiting with friends and family, playing cards, as well as dancing to Polka music.
