After spending her childhood in Versailles, France, Madeleine traveled to America in 1945 at the age of 18. She lived in San Antonio for the past 67 years and was a lifelong member of the Alliance Francaise de San Antonio as well as the ALS Association of Texas - San Antonio chapter.
Madeleine’s joy came from spending time with her large family and her beloved cats. She enjoyed listening to classical music and her favorite operas. While she battled a form of ALS for over 30 years she always showed grace and strength in her everyday life. Her legacy lives on through her family and loved ones.
