I miss Maddie’s face when she had something so funny to tell that it took her three laughing snorts and a voice several octaves higher than her own to finally spill the story. And then the seriousness of the stories she shared about the kids she cared for. She knew them like they had been in her life forever. I just miss jumping in your bed and hearing your wisdom. I think of you everyday my sweet niece

— Aunt Kristy

Maddie was my college roommate at Drake for a semester. I think of her often, nearly every day. She was a shining light. Thank you for bringing her into this world and creating this to remember her. It doesn’t feel like she is gone.

I first met Maddy when we worked at the same restaurant. She was new to Olympia, so I introduced her to my friends and the mutual aid community. Everyone liked her right away. We will remember her as being so dedicated to the community and always willing to help, whether it was a friend or stranger in need. She was fun and loved intellectual conversations. I will remember her love of music. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. Rest in peace lovely Maddy.

“Beautiful shining Maddie. A magnificent and luminous star. We weren’t meant to have you with us for very long, but how bright was the light you shined on all who knew you - and loved you - for your passion, kindness, generosity, adventurousness and intelligence. You fought the good fight, but God had other plans for you. May your beautiful soul find rest and solace. I will miss you, and remember you in my prayers, for the rest of my life. To Maddie’s family, heartfelt prayers for comfort to you all. May love be what you remember the most.

I was so sorry to hear the news about Maddie. I always enjoyed her company while we were both in the Lower School. We had numerous conversations about the M&M's in my office.

We know our soul's gaze is upon your face,
