Madison battled Epilepsy from the time she was an early teenager. She never let that hold her back from back from experiencing life. She lived with a positive attitude that was contagious to all around and had the sweetest soul that you could imagine.

Madison had many passions including cheerleading, dancing, theater and arts, fashion, travel, music, dining out and family and friends. She loved to drive and never took it for granted. She would often just go for a drive by herself.

Madison made many memories visiting many places including Disneyworld, Universal Studios, Myrtle Beach, Los Angeles, Washington DC and Cincinnati. She loved spending time and having adventures with her best friends. Katonna Tate who had known her since 1st grade and Darrell Wright. Later in life she met Kyra Royster they didn’t know each for as long but shared an incredible bond.
