Madeline was a kitchen designer for Cornerstone Design in Falls Church, VA. She volunteered with the Lions Club in Lake Ridge, VA and she donated time at the Lake Ridge Fellowship House.
After moving to Warwick, NY to raise a family, Madeline was involved in many of her children's activities while they were growing up: volunteering as a softball coach, 4H leader, and as a Girl Scout leader. Madeline loved movies, scrapbooking and gardening. A family statement reads, "Mom's love for her family was tremendous! It showed in everything she did. She loved cooking for her friends and family and never passed up a family gathering – or a chance to dance."

My grandmother was an amazing woman who cared deeply for all of her children and grandchildren. She had positive energy and a great laugh. I will always remember our trips to the Outer Banks and the shopping day she used to take the girls on. Her motto was "if you like it, buy it!" She lived a good life and created a beautiful family. Thank you grandma!
