Madge attended Girls’ High in Atlanta and went on to the Georgia Baptist School of Nursing where she became a Licensed Practical Nurse.  She later completed her Bachelor’s degree and touched many lives through her work as a nurse and a medical office manager.

She is also survived by great grandchildren Kaylie Caldwell, Skylar Dutton,  and Gabriel Kaufman; great nieces Lynn Roldan, Marlena Compton, Christie Negri, Kim Casey, Suzanne Ellis and Colleen McCullough; and great nephews Tim Casey, Stan Ellis and Andy McCullough.  Throughout the years,  Madge remained close to many friends and extended family members.
