Mady grew up in Jaffrey, New Hampshire, where she was one of a large, loving family. She liked to tell stories of climbing Mt. Monadnock and swimming in the lake. As a teenager, she moved to South Grafton, Massachusetts, where she met and married her love of 65 years, George. She graduated from Quinsigamond Community College as a Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant, working for many years at Grafton State Hospital and, after its closing, as a counselor at Valley Adult Day Center. Upon retirement, she and George moved to Barefoot Bay, Florida, where they spent happy days in the sun and welcomed the visits of their many family members and friends. They loved to cruise and took many to the Caribbean and Hawaii. In 2009, they moved to the Lynchburg area to be near their family.
Mady spent her last years at Runk & Pratt, Liberty Ridge, Lynchburg. The family would like to thank the staff for their dedicated care of Mady. They would also like to thank Affinity Care of Virginia for their assistance and dear friends Richard and Darnelle Bordeaux.
