Growing up in the Dominion City area of Manitoba, she was always quite active in the community, although illness in her teens prevented her from pursuing her dream of a nursing career.

The Lang’s usually boarded the teacher of Langside School and Madge was well known for her great meals. Many of the teachers kept in touch with Madge and Garnet through the years. In 1965, the Lang’s retired to Winnipeg where Madge cared for both Ted and Garnet in their declining years. In 1984, Madeline moved to the St. James Kiwanis Lodge, 100 Sinawik Bay where she was a Charter Member and an active participant in many of the activities available there. She enjoyed cribbage, bridge, shuffleboard and also worked on different committees. In November 2001, in failing health, Madge moved to Trenton, Ontario to live with her niece Marilyn McNamara and husband Tom. Madge enjoyed the birds, flowers, garden and her Saturday night hockey.
