I am sorry to read of the passing of Madeline. We attended West Virginia State College in the 60's, graduating in 1964. I knew her personality and intellect would lead to her becoming a remarkable teacher. My sincere condolences to her family.
(P.S. - I also remember Ana)

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of my dear friend Madeline. We worked together for over 30 years at WHS and WMS. She was a beautiful person, inside and out, and always was ready to share her smile and a kind word. I know she influenced many students in a positive way. Heaven has gained an angel for sure. My prayers are with her family.
