ANDERSON Madelon Grace Born November 14, 1946 passed away suddenly on October 14, 2009. Pre-deceased by her son Kevin (2002) Madelon leaves behind her loving husband Terry, Son Richard and Grandchildren Bailey and Brendan. Also left to mourn are her sister Lorraine (Husband Ross and family) and Sister Noreen Brickwood (and family). Madelon was a pivotal member of the family always caring and always sharing her wisdom and advice. Madelon's career in banking was with the Royal Bank of Canada for most of her working years. Recently retired from the bank she spent all of her time loving and caring for her family that included two much loved beagles. Madelon valiantly fought the battle of her life after being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in June of 2008. The family is grateful to friends and loved ones who supported and helped in her trying times; in particular Dr. Sophie Sun of the BC Cancer Agency who consistently pushed the envelope of available treatments to extend Madelon's life and granting her wish of being able to enjoy this past summer. Madelon enjoyed visiting Europe and her beloved Paris with her husband but mostly enjoyed her many family trips to Maui where she and husband Terry renewed their wedding vows this past January at sunset on her favorite Wailea beach where the above photo was taken. We thank the many caring staff at the BC Cancer Agency for their positive and caring demeanor and for making her as comfortable as possible during her many visits. Having lost so much, loved so much and given so much there is a peace in the knowledge that she is at rest and at last reunited with her beloved first born son. The bells Madelon so loved hearing at the Queens Avenue United Church will ring in her honor at a memorial service on Thursday, October 22nd at 1pm. In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made in Madelon's name to the BC Cancer Agency - Lung Tumor Research - Attn: Doctor Sophie Sun.
