My deepest condolence to Paul her son and Ryan her grandson and Joanne her niece and care giver. Aunt Madeline will always be remembered by the citizens of Vandergrift for her kindness and love. Aunt Madeline was always known for wearing her high heels while shopping or walking through downtown Vandergrift. I had friends from Vandergrift who would tell me they saw Aunt Madeline in town in her high heel shoes. Such a classy woman. I remember Aunt Madeline marching with me in the Halloween Parade in downtown Vandergrift when I was around 8 or 9 years old. Such a fond memory. May Aunt Madeline be greeted by Uncle Paul,Paulette and
the rest of her family when she is received by Our Lord. May you rest in peace Aunt Madeline.
