M. Madeleine Fiorino

1925 - 2021

M. Madeleine (Turgeon) Fiorino was born into a French-Canadian family in Edmonton, Alberta on May 8, 1925. She passed away on August 3, 2021 at the age of 96 in Tucson, Arizona. She was a multi-faceted and international woman who lived a musically and family oriented life. She was deeply spiritual and put her faith in God's love and shared it generously.

She is preceded in death by her husband of 71 years, Emilio "Lee" Fiorino, (died May 22, 2021), and her brothers John Turgeon and Bernard Turgeon. Madeleine is survived by her siblings Pierre Turgeon and Marie-Claire Turgeon, as well as her 5 children, Robert, Paul, Michelle, John, and Ted. At the time of her passing, she had 11 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.

Madeleine lived in Denver, CO with her husband and family for 52 years before moving to SaddleBrooke in Tucson, AZ. No matter if she lived in Canada, New York, Denver, or Arizona (and even when she found herself traveling around the world), she always pursued a life full of music. She found great success as a singer, teacher, and choir director. She was very active in her community and enjoyed meeting new people. She connected with all people through her love of music, language, and cooking. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Madeleine's family, the Turgeons, and her friends from Canada would like to say thank you, merçi, and to express their utmost gratitude to the extended family for their unconditional love.
