Edith B (Madison) Kyle of Auburn, ME, age 74, died peacefully on March 19, 2011 at Clover Nursing Home following a long struggle with Alzheimer's disease.
She was born on October 28, 1936 in Goffstown, NH to John and Frances Madison. She was raised and went to school in Milford, NH.

She loved every single child she came into contact with there. She always welcomed everyone with an open heart and a smile. She never turned anyone away.
