Madeleine Jean Patricia Parker

My Dear Miss Madeline!
I took dance lessons from you for
Years! You will be truly missed .I think of you and the memories made at the studio often.

Sending my condolences to Joe & family. I started dance lessons from Miss Madeline in Howe at age 8. I remember Mrs. Murphy would instruct us to warm up & Miss Madeline would rush in from high school to finish the lesson. I took lessons for 11 years and loved everything about dance. The training I had helped me through out my life with adult interaction, teaching school & raising a family. Dance taught me the beauty of body movement, self esteem & stage assurance. For a farm girl, dance brought me into a new world. Thank you, Miss Madeline! she will be remembered as a great dancer & a dance teacher in tap, ballet, modern & ballroom. Judy Bogen Farrand

What a wonderful lady was Miss Madeleine! All three of my daughters took ballet from her and one of my sons also! She made a positive impact on our family that will never be forgotten! It seemed like the whole town looked forward to her recitals in the spring! Thank-you Miss Madeleine for bringing love, discipline and beauty to us! We remember you fondly. Kathy Jefferies

No words could express how much she has changed so many of our lives throughout the years . She was my dance instructor since I was able to walk and taught me not only so much to love dance and to live life to fullest but to be the best kind person I could be . She will be deeply missed by all of us who thought of her as not only our dance instructor but family .

Rest in Heaven Miss Madeleine till we meet again .

This wonderful woman was well known in our home as Miss Madeleine. Our daughter loved her ballet lessons and eventually both sons took lessons as well. We have so many wonderful memories of those years. We are blessed to have known her.

The Hackman Family and the entire staff extend to you our most heartfelt sympathy.
