Madaline Marie Black

Madaline Marie Black (nee Covert) went home to be with her Lord on Saturday, December 17, 2016. Dearly loved by her family, Madaline was married to Luther "Tex" Black and had four children: Donald, Janis, David, and Judith (Tex, Donald, and Judith preceded her in death). She was blessed with 10 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren with another on the way. Madaline lived in Langdondale, Pennsylvania in her youth but moved to the Cleveland area settling in Madison in 1960. During her years of employment, she worked at Shady Acres Nursing Home and Lake County Senior Center in Madison providing services for the aged. After the death of her husband, Madaline also lived in Niles, Lordstown, and most recently Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. She was an avid reader with an extensive personal library. She loved doing plastic canvas crafts and giving her handiwork to others. One of her favorite past-times was working on puzzles and playing Uno which she shared with the grand and great grandchildren. She enjoyed spending time with her family, particularly the babies that joined the family and all too quickly grew up. Madaline was passionate about her faith and served faithfully at her church when her children were young. Madaline was a strong, resilient woman with a great sense of humor. She will be greatly missed. Visitation will be at 10:30 AM Thursday with Funeral at 11:00 AM Burial will be in Madsion Memorial Cemetery.
