Madison was born with Cerebral Palsy and later developed Scoliosis and Microcephaly. She endured several major foot and spinal surgeries but never lost her love of life. She loved to go for walks in her wheelchair around the neighborhood and the school campus where she greeted everyone with a bright smile and a “Hi”. She was loved dearly by her family and friends, her caregivers, fellow students and school staff. She was loved by many people and dearly missed by them as well. She will be remembered by all of them for her huge smile and her loud silly laugh that filled the room.
Burial will be at the Miramar National Cemetery located at 5795 Nobel Dr. San Diego CA on Tuesday October 27, 2020 at 2:00 pm.
Flowers can be sent directly to the East County Mortuary in El Cajon, CA. Donations can be made to the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation in Madison’s name.
