It is with heavy hearts and tears in our eyes that we tell you of the passing of our mom. She was such a tremendous part of our lives who loved her family and friends so dearly. Her grandchildren were the light of her life.
78 years old
Born on September 13, 1942 in Santurce, Puerto Rico, United States
Passed away on June 21, 2021 in Sarasota, Florida, United States
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Madeline Cangemie, 78 years old, born on September 13, 1942, and passed away on June 21, 2021. We will remember her forever.
Although we met Maddie years ago, it was just when she and Vivian moved to Florida that we had the pleasure of getting to know the real Maddie. Maddie we can say had a big heart, just as big as the smile she wore. And you know something, she could sure win at cards. And yes, she always had M&M peanuts when we visited. Her love for her daughters and grandchildren was paramount, she always had new photos to show and stories to tell, her visits with her family brought back miles and miles of smiles, so, so proud of each and every one. No, we didn't have the years of a close friendship many had with Maddie but in the short time of being around her grew a friendship and love we will always cherish. Marilyn & Diane
Such a loss of a wonderful funny Woman. I will miss you. Sending strength, peace and compassion to Viv and the rest of your wonderful Family. Love you my Friend Pat Ritter
My Aunt Madeline was the coolest aunt! She took me & a friend to my first rock concert. I was 14 years old. She took us to the Long Island Arena to see the Allman Brothers Band. I’m 63 now, I remember that day like it was yesterday! I love you Aunt Madeline, Rest peacefully.
Overwhelmed is how I feel. Maddy was an amazing woman who raised incredibly successful daughters. She was a friend who kept in touch, and one who never said, “No” to anyone. Rest well Maddy and know you are forever loved by those you touched. ❤️
Maddy I will miss you so much . You had such a kind heart and loving soul.You loved with everything you had. I will miss our monthly calls. We laughed and cried over silly things. You where like a sister to me and you will be forever in my heart. I will sign off like i would have on the phone. Love you sweetie
Maddie, The sorrow I feel, over your passing, aches my heart. We shared many wonderful memories together and I will cherish them always, as will I cherish our friendship. I always reminded you how I was by your side when you were shyly attempting to "court" Vivian. Well, your perseverance paid off and the love story of Vivian and Maddie began and what a great journey, of love, that truly was. Your unconditional, committed love and devotion for your family and friends will be forever inspiring. The world truly lost a great woman. Your fiend, Lauren.
To my wonderful mom. We are heartbroken for losing you. There will be a huge hole in our hearts. May the winds of heaven blow softly, and whisper in your ear, how much we love and miss you and wish that you were here. We love you Mom!
Those we love don’t ever go away they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard but always near so loved, so missed and so dear.
Our hearts are broken as we remember you mom. You asked so little but gave so much to everyone. I will always have you in my heart. I miss you so…..Liz
Our love our life …..she has touched us all with a smile and conversation that never forgets who you are and truely caring with all her heart. Making each of us feel special
I grew up in Astoria and my parents were friends with Maddy's and Cuchie's parents so we got to see a lot of each other. We lost touch after she got divorced ... last time I saw her was at my daughter's bridal shower. (I think?). Lost touch with Cuchie as well. I had been thinking of them lately. Couldn't find Cuchie's anything...so I tried Maddy's name and that's when I realized that she had passed away back in 1921 (by the way she passed on my birthday).
From the very first moment I walked into her life “Mrs C” made me feel welcome and part of the family. She would soon become an unknowing participant of my many practical jokes, but she did so with a great sense of humor and never complained. She was unique in that she genuinely cared about all those that she met and called her their friend. My family loved her immensely and she reciprocated that love. She was gracious and ALWAYS asked about my family, each and every one of them. To me she was always “Mrs C” but as I saw her for what I knew would be the last time I called her Mom, because she was deserving of that title. And that is no joke. Love you Mom. Rest In Peace.
