Madeline, you will always be missed.  To Judy, Walt, Mae, Cody, and your entire family -we will all meet up with Madeline in the afterlife and enjoy her beautiful soul. 
My love to all of you, Bucky

Sending out a lot of love to all of Madeline’s family. This loss…the loss of a lovely, very funny, smart, and kind young woman will surely leave a huge void in the lives of so many people.  It’s difficult to find the right words when trying to convey a bit of comfort to those of you who are so deeply, and immediately affected by losing Madeline.

Mads, what a tremendous hole you will leave. I am shocked and saddened, but I will revel in memories of your humor, candor and positive light. Sending love and comfort to your girls and all who love you. I am so very sorry. 

Madeline moved in next door to me on 111th Artesian in the 2000’s. She was a riot. Nothing fazed her. Having Mae and Cody-no problem. She loved her babies! My husband Mike was from Ireland and she loved him. Madeline called him Mikey. Mike passed in 2018. I hope they are in heaven having a drink and teasing each other. My sincere condolences to Mae and Cody. 

Dear Judy Wally Doug and family,
May God give you His peace and His Spirit take her home!




Ms. O'Malley you made work-life so much easier because no matter the circumstance or situation, you were always full of optimism, joy, and laughter.  Aside from your many gifts  and talents, your most precious attribute was arguably your love of people especially family and friends.  I am blessed and honored to have had the pleasure of working with such a phenomenal woman like you.  You were the leader of our department, you were our spokesperson, you were our voice of reason, and you were the heart and soul of the Sped department at Simeon.  You were the BEST case manager in the world, and if not the best, you were definitely the funniest.  

We have lost a great, great, great mother, daughter, sister, friend, confidant, and co-worker, but heaven has gained a loving, caring, smart, and precious Angel.  

Family and  friends, please find comfort in knowing that Madeline lived her best life as she laughed, worked, played, conversed,   traveled, comforted, supported the right causes, and loved with passion along her earthly journey.   She was simply the best!

Love You My Friend

Lita & Rhonda got the chance to see Madeline at one of her comedy shows, and of course she was a riot! We will miss her dearly, and are grateful to have crossed her path. 

Live. Laugh. Love. 
Live. Mabs, you lived a life of service, molding so many children’s lives. What a legacy you have left for others to honor. 
Laugh. OMG! The year we team taught our class could have been a sitcom with you being the lead actress. To reflect on this experience makes me laugh, realizing your playful antics were probably your way of saying do not take this job too seriously. Loosen up a little!
Love. How I love the day you affectionately coined me “T’dubs,” and I, in kind, coined you Mabs (with the letter b, not d). 
Teasingly, you would tell me I was the moon, and I called you the sun(smile). Like the sun, your vibrant energy and synergy will shine brightly forever. 
Live. Laugh. Love. 
Always your girl, T’dubs
Sending prayers and lots of hugs to your beautiful children and family

Madeline was a beautiful woman full of life, strong  with great energy. A hardworking single mom who raised 2 wonderful children. She will be missed forever. We just loved her. 
Sending sympathy, love and prayers to the whole family ❤️

I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. I hope that the love and support of friends and family & warm, loving memories help you through this difficult time. You are all in my thoughts. 

To My work Wife.  I will never forget our jokes and conversations. You will be missed and always be in our hearts. 

I am very lucky to have crossed paths with Madeline. She was the embodiment of confidence and so very kind. To say I am going to miss her and her awesome humor is an understatement. Sending love to her family. 

Madeline was brilliant.  We met Madeline in her performing travels.  A Beloved Genuine Spirit.  She will be the Headliner on the Stages of Heaven.   Look to the single Cloud against the Blue Skies we will find her there.
With Much Love to  you her Family.   

Mae, Cody, and dear family members:
My heart broke when I learnt about the passing of Madeline.... 
She was a wonderful woman, a loving and devoted mother, and she always put the needs of her family first. 
She was a role model to us all, and her passing leaves a hole that can never be filled.

Mae and Cody: 
Your amazing mother touched so many lives in the very best way and was a source of love and support to so many people! 
I’m grateful I got the chance to know her as both a colleague and a friend. 
I know I can’t make your pain go away, but I want you to know I’m here for you with a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen with, or anything else you may need.
I offer my sincerest sympathies to you and your loved ones in the wake of your mother’s passing. She was a truly wonderful person, and she will be greatly missed. May she rest in peace, and may the love and support of those around you provide some comfort during this dark time.

There are no goodbyes for us, Madeline, for our memories shall hold you immortal, and you shall always be in our hearts and minds.

In deepest sympathy,

Tom & Karen Noble









Ms O'Malley was one of my teachers at Wells High School she was a awesome teacher and years laters became a awesome friend she keep in contact with all her former students she will definitely be missed praying for her daughters and parents.. love you ms  O'Malley😘

I went to the same school as Ms. O’Malley’s daughter (Mae) and I was a year younger than her. Before the start of my Freshmen year, Ms. O’Malley stopped by my house with a box of donuts and a warm smile across her face. She came by to welcome me and my family to the school community. This one act of kindness has stayed with me ever sense and truly helped to establish a community feeling at my large high school. I only met her once and her positive energy has stayed with me ever since. 

Thank you Ms. O’Malley

I am friends with Madeline’s daughter, Mae. During high school when we often found ourselves entrenched in drama, Madeline always welcomed me staying over, told us stories about her high school years, and cooked the most delicious dinners. She was so funny, strong, and caring. Each interaction I had with her allowed me to understand  how her children turned out to be such amazing people. I have all the respect and love in the world for Madeline and the kids she raised to be passionate, confident, and resilient. I will miss her very much. Sending love to all 🩷
