Suzanne Madden Obituary
Suzanne Elizabeth Madden, 78, of Tiffin, passed away Friday, July 26, 2024, at Volunteers of America Autumnwood Care Center, Tiffin.
Suzanne was born April 22, 1946, in Tiffin, to John H. and Geraldine L. (Frederick) Bowersox. She married James M. Madden on Aug. 10, 1974, in Tiffin, and he preceded her in death Sept. 18, 2011.
Suzanne's survivors include her children, Deb (Ted) Hilborn of Tiffin, Amy (Rafael) Sierra-Delgado of Fostoria, and Michael (Brandy) Madden of Tiffin; three stepchildren, Jaime (Brian) Curley, Jim (JoAnn) Madden, and Janet (Bob) Adams; 16 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and brother, Daniel (Bonnie) Bowersox of Indianapolis, Indiana.
Suzanne worked as a Licensed Social Worker with WSOS and was a member of Ebenezer United Methodist Church. She served local, District, State, and National level for VFW, belonged to post 3343 in Clyde, and participated for years with Relay For Life. Suzanne chaired all programs, but her heart was in Americanism, Cancer Aid & Research, and membership. Her knowledge and presentations were talked about by many and her creativity showed up in planning events like Community Service Projects, District 9 Fall Fest, and Military Ball. Suzanne will be remembered most for her love of her children, grandchildren, and just being with family.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; and sister, Lisa A. Garcia.
The family would like to give a special thanks to all of the staff of Heartland Hospice, Autumnwood Care Center, and a very special caregiver, Lucy Ruse.
Suzanne's funeral will be 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 31, 2024, at Engle-Shook Funeral Home & Crematory, Tiffin, with Pastor Amy Ochier officiating. Visitation for family and friends will be 4-6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the funeral home. There will be no burial at this time.
