Madelon has been part of my life since I was born. A devoted neighbor to my hearing-impaired parents, Madelon arranged a signaling system when my mom needed help with me. All Mom had to do was put a piece of colored construction paper in our front window and Madelon would come over. Until I was old enough for us to have a phone, Madelon was the point person for Mom and Dad’s families to reach us. Madelon made every special cake for family celebrations and the best Christmas cookies. Every Christmas Day, she would give me a colored popcorn ball, a great treat. Mom worked afternoons and if there was a tornado watch or warning I went to Madelon’s - - she popped popcorn and Debbie and I got full sized Hershey Bars. Halloween was the best - she dressed as a scary witch. When I got older, she did not hesitate to tease me about my lack of desire to mow the lawn; she’d start edging the front lawn so I’d have to finish it. So many memories. One thing is definite - Madelon was love.
Maddy was just a wonderful & caring person. She was like a second mother to me and grandmother to my children. We moved next door to her back in 1984 and the crazy thing was we were talking one day and found out she lived next door to my Dad & his family in Detroit back in the day. I always loved sitting on her porch and having tea and talking for hours. I could go on and on about stories about her. I know one thing for sure she will surely be missed. You are the last one from the old neighborhood. Now you are with Jimmy, Betty & Jim dancing away. Until we meet again, we will always remember you. Love you to the moon and back Rick & Lori Smith
She was quite the lady, couldn't help but love her. Had a big ol' heart ♥️ Very silly & always good for a laugh. Looked on the sunny side of life. She will be missed 💔
