Madeline had worked in the banking industry for over 30 years with employment at Merchants and Peoples bank in Indianapolis. She and Dad had lived in Cicero and Indianapolis for over 50 years while raising their children and grandchildren.  She and Dad looked forward to weekends with their house full of grandchildren and great grandchildren.  She never had a closed door and would always help anyone in need of food or a warm place to stay throughout her life.  

Growing up in Newburgh, NY part of her young life she would volunteer with the Red Cross to help transport handicap children to special needs services. She took great joy in this her whole life and it showed in how she always gave back to children in need.

Later in life after the passing of her husband she was always excited when all of the children, grand children and great grand children would come and sit with her and just listen to her talk about her life.

She had her love of pets (many of them) schipperke's and cats.

Mom's wishes were to not have any services for her and her remains to be cremated. Her final resting place  will be Woodlawn cemetery , New Windsor, Orange County, New York- with her husband and next to their son and her Mother.

"When I sleep and do not wake up don't worry I am at peace, I will always be there to listen when you speak! I may not answer with my voice but will be there in your thoughts!

I will miss you all!
