Madeline was a convert to the Roman Catholic Church at the age of eighteen before marrying the love of her life, John.

Craft Club and later joined the Elmont Senior Club.

Madeline loved her family and was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She also made friends everywhere she went. She had many special friends that she loved dearly and whom she would never forget.

She loved going to restaurants, parties and taking weekend getaways. She was the life of the party and the parties will never be the same without her.
