Dear Glews,
We remember Maddy fondly for her smile, laughter and dry wit. She never missed a beat even with lots of younger activity around her...especially during the holidays. She will be missed but is on her way to see her Bob and live peacefully ever after.

Our Sincerest Condolences, Amy, Iggy, Natalie and Mike Coughlin

Maddie will be sorely missed by her family and her friends from the back pew at St. George's Church. Her fast wit and happy smile will always be remembered. by those who stopped to talk at the last pew.. She was always interested in others families and how they grew up and was vastly proud of her own. She will be missed. Bill & Jean Chignola

Your mom and dad will always be in my memories. My father, Norman Wellman worked, and car pooled with Bob for many years. Maddy and Bob were lovely people. Carol Wellman Taylor
