Maria-Teresa Madan-Felten Obituary
Maité was an ally to many oppressed communities, always opening her home and heart to those who needed it.
She spent most of her working life as a childcare provider, caring for and nurturing hundreds of kids.
Maité used her voice to advocate for vulnerable children across the globe.
In her retirement she enjoyed listening to music, going on walks, drinking café con leche from local Cuban spots, going to the movies, chatting with anyone and everyone, shopping at farmer's markets, and attending kickball games for the Sapphic Saphires (her daughters' LGBT kickball team).
Maité will be remembered by many.
Maité cared deeply about her family and community members. She was a loving sister, daughter, tía, cousin, wife, and mother. She was very proud to have raised three amazing humans.
Maité will be reunited with many of her loved ones, especially her soulmate, Clay, and her sweet dog, Coco.

Maria, I remember many good times with you. We met when our girls were in kindergarten and Sammy was still in a stroller. I loved working with you at the daycare in the baby room. It was my favorite room and you were a great partner. I smile every time I think about the babies and how much we enjoyed caring for them and playing with them. I Loved how nurturing you were to them and how calming you were to them, and to me. My favorite memory of you is when we took the girls to the movies in town and we'd sneak in our own popcorn, chocolates and drinks cause we were not gonna pay that much for the extras (hahahahaha). I can't believe nobody stopped us with our luggage sized tote bags full of goodies. Anyway, my dear friend, as sad as we are that you are no longer with us, I hope you are enjoying Heaven with a joyful heart, a clear mind and filled with peace and love. Now you are rejoined with Clay and your beloved Coco (la Gorda) and I know you are in a better place. Love You and I'll see you again when it's my turn. Be good and don't cause too much ruckus up there.
