She spent her childhood growing up in Stamford, CT before moving to Toledo, Ohio at age 15 where she met High School Sweetheart and husband – Steve. She was very proud of her time in Nursing School in Toledo, OH. Madge was a devoted wife and Mother. She worked as a registered nurse in Ohio and Michigan until the family moved to Urbana, IL in 1961. She raised her children and worked until 1974, when the family returned to Joliet. Madge loved the arts and music, encouraging all of her girls to learn music and play the piano, flute and violin. She enjoyed listening to classical and jazz music. Throughout her life, she spent time sewing, quilting, knitting, watercolor painting and creating crafts. She read numerous books and assembled a large collection of magazines. It was important to Madge that her children experience new foods by cooking recipes she found in these collections. Her favorite travels included trips to Hawaii, Florida, Boston, British Columbia, San Antonio and Tucson. She loved her flowering plants inside and outside her home. Madge was an avid birdwatcher, especially enjoying goldfinches and hummingbirds. Although she was a late adopter of using the computer, she liked searching the internet and participating in Facebook. Madge was a devoted member to the Catholic Church. She volunteered for the church in the late 1970s, providing assistance and transportation to refugees located in the Joliet-area. From these experiences, she developed an affinity for exploring different cultures-especially customs, clothing and food. She very much appreciated her time with the Christian Women's group and Bible Study. She was a proud member of TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly). She cherished this group and the friends she made along the way. Funeral Services will be held at the Carlson-Holmquist-Sayles Funeral Home, 2320 Black Rd., Saturday, September 26 at 10:00 A.M.
