Madonna Watts Gordon

She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 33 years, John “Jack” Gordon, and brothers, Thomas Watts and George Watts.

Madonna, along with her husband and daughter, founded the Troubadours Community Theater Group, where she was the head costume designer for 24 years. Through her love of theatre and the performing arts, she was instrumental in the overall success of all Troubadour productions throughout its 24 years. When Madonna wasn’t working on costumes for a production, she would spend her time knitting and crocheting some of the most beautiful afghan blankets, hats, and sweaters for anyone who asked. While the Troubadours and her love of arts and crafts always kept her busy, Madonna’s absolute favorite past-time was spending time with and taking care of her grandkids, accompanying them on many adventures throughout the years. A devout Catholic, Madonna was always willing to give back to the communities that she loved. She found it especially rewarding to share her love of the Catholic Church by teaching adult catechism classes at St. John’s Catholic Church in Highland Springs. Madonna will forever remain in the hearts of the many people she has touched over the years. One of God’s most special angels has finally returned home.

Left to cherish her memory are her devoted daughter, Elizabeth “Tish” Mondoux, along with her husband, Christopher; her beloved grandchildren, Ian Mondoux and Aislinn Mondoux; her grand-fur babies, Bella, Bodhi, and Sadie Rose; as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friends.

Per Madonna’s wishes, all services will be private.
