I worked in the library at WSU with Madeline for about 25 years and I will remember her as the sweet, kind person that we all loved. Prayers for her family.
I had the pleasure of working with Madeline at WSU. She was a real sweet lady. I’m so sorry for your loss. Stephanie Sauls
I’m so sorry for your loss. I grew up in the Derby Nazarene Church and was in the same little teen group together. I will always remember her sweet smile. She and Marnita Sinclair were always attached at the hip, laughing and giggling about, seemingly, everything. All I had to do was look at the two of them to bring a smile to my heart.
Ashli and Dash: Please allow me to express sincere sympathy to you both. Several years ago while furthering a degree I would occasionally say hello and we’d have a nice talk at the WSU library. Hadn’t seen Madeline since high school, but she was still as pretty as ever. I will always remember her for her quiet dignity and sweetness. God bless. Jeff Elliott DHS ’79
