Madonna J. Demerath

(Nee Meide) Born into Eternal Life on Friday, January 7, 2022, at the age of 90. Loving wife for 66 years to the late John W. Demerath. Loving mother of Linda (Jamie) O’Brien, James (Victoria) Demerath, Ann (Larry) Paprocki, Glen (Jane) Demerath, Joanne (Richard) Hecht, and Kristine (John) Ruddy. Proud grandma to 12 grandchildren: Matthew, James, Marcus, Dana, Ryan, Marie, Sabrina, Brooke, Cody, Evan, Gina, and Carly. Loved being a great-grandma to 7 great-grandchildren: Harper, Asher, Ollie, Avery, Anastacia, Charlee, and Kylie. Also survived by nieces, nephews, other family and many friends.

Though Madonna stood only 4′ 10″, she lived life large! She loved playing cards, Bingo, participating in the dance group “The Silver Bells” well into her early 80’s, she loved to travel with John, and was always busy attending recitals, concerts, festivals, and countless activities with the grandchildren. She also enjoyed arts and crafts, flower arranging, and made beautiful Christmas wreaths. She had a very contagious laugh and had more energy than can be explained! She was a joy to be around.

Madonna’s family would like to extend a special thanks to the kind and compassionate staff at Vista Pointe Assisted Living Center in Menomonee Falls. Thank you for all the love you have shown to Madonna. Special thanks to Karly the activities director, and Lori S. the beautician, for all your kindness and love to Madonna.

Visitation at Wisconsin Memorial Park, Chapel of the Chimes, 13235 West Capitol Drive, on Thursday, January 20, 2022, from 1:00 PM until time of Service at 2:00 PM. Burial to follow.
