Publish in a newspaper
Following graduation at Mount Carmel High School, Irma was a beautician and opened her own beauty shop. Irma had a deep love for people and was dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care as a home health caregiver. Irma found joy in watching mystery shows and cheering on Cubs baseball games alongside her husband. In her free time, she especially cherished shopping trips with her children. Irma was a member of the Bellmont United Methodist Church. Above all, she was most proud of her four-generation family and deeply treasured the moments when they could all be together.
Irma will be remembered by her loving husband, Ross Madden of Bellmont; son, Christopher Madden and wife, Tabby of Paris, IL; daughter, Christina Haggstrom and husband, Wade of Terre Haute, IN; seven grandchildren; nine great grandchildren; sister, Peggy Sue Compton of Bellmont, IL; brothers-in-law, Larry Madden and Danny (Ann) Hawf; sister in law, Laveta (Bill) Casburn; many loved nieces and nephews along with special nephew, Jacob (Kandace) Compton; and many loved cousins.
Irma was preceded in death by her parents; brother-in-law, Tony Compton; and sister-in-law, Jessica Madden.
