Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Madeline, in her brief time with us, made an incredible impact on many lives. Her personality would light up any room. Early on, she learned the value of giving back. She found great joy in giving and making friends special gifts. She always tried to see the good in people. Madeline would adopt all animals in the shelter if she could. She was an advocate for others, especially those that had challenges in life. Madeline had an uncanny ability to bring truth to light, which was astonishing for a person her age. She worked hard to develop her skills as a basketball player. Madeline would have graduated from Moore High School in May of 2023 with honors achieving a 4.0 GPA. She signed a letter of intent to play women’s basketball at Northeastern A&M in Miami. Madeline loved spending time with family and friends. She adored her cat Zeus and loved the family’s two German Shepherds, Prince and Echo. Madeline had a heart for homeless animals and spent much time feeding feral cats living in city drains. She was known to have cat food in the trunk of her car to ensure that, at any given time, food was available. Her advocacy for animals was one of many causes she held close to her heart. The community felt Madeline’s light and love.
