Madelin Ruth Searson

Death is such an odd paradox.
It brings the soul that passed great relief while leaving their loved ones in immense pain.

My grandmother was the strongest woman I have ever known and I pray to embody even an ounce of that strength and compassion in my lifetime.

She was always there to offer love and compassion to anyone who may need it. Her kindness was only outweighed by the genuine love she carried for everyone she cared for.

May her light rain down from beyond on every life she has touched.

I only met her one time but I found her to be a loving compassionate person. She was a wonderful and gracious listener and a brilliant conversationalist.

Madelin was an amazing neighbor, in South City. She was the Mother of three amazing daughters and united they supported our family and so kind to the neighbors. She lived a life with a beautiful smile to share with everyone. Such a loss but such a loving friend for at least 60 wonderful years. Our best to her loving family. Ron and Candy Merritt

I didn´t have the pleasure and privilege of knowing Madeline well, but to visit with her was delightful. So many shared SFO memories.
I know she´ll be missed by tons of folks!
I send love to her gals, and family.

I have so many memories of you, from birthdays and Christmas at the Fairview house, to pictures of the cousins on your stairs. You being there for most of my milestones, birthdays, holidays, my baptism, first communion, my graduations and seeing my daughter. Grammy, thank you for loving my mom as your own, and loving all of us. You will forever have a big place in our hearts! I can still hear you get frustrated, when someone teased you, you saying my name. Thank you for my 43 years of memories with you! Say hi to my Mom and Grandma, I know they were waiting for you with open arms!

I met Madelin here in Bath,NC. She was a fun woman who loved to laugh and chocolate in equal measure.
Be blessed Madelin!! Until we meet again. I´ll be holding a chocolate muffin for you!

When I reflect on all that my grandmother overcame in her life, I am awestruck by her unwavering love and strength. My grandmother always put family first. Her values shaped my life and gave me the strength to weather any storm. Being her grandchild is the greatest honor of my life. I am proud to call her grandma. I would let her down if I let grief break me. Instead, I will focus on making sure she lives on in my family and myself.
Ta ta for now Grandma
