She continued her career as an administrative secretary for the Maryland State Highway Administration until her retirement in 1987.
Madelynne enjoyed gardening, dancing, raising Himalayan cats, and, most importantly, spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She also loved to travel, and took numerous cruise trips with family members in her lifetime.
