Obituary

Martha Erin Woolf Madison of Piggott, Arkansas, formerly of Greenway, left her pain behind at the Flo and Phil Jones Hospice House in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and went to her heavenly home Friday, November 18, 2011. She was born on March 6, 1928, the ninth of ten children of James Edgar and Anna Erin (Mack) Woolf at Greenway, Arkansas. Martha graduated from Greenway High School in 1946 and began college at then Arkansas State College in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and obtained her teaching certificate. She continued going to college and began her teaching career at Carryville. There she met and married Dee Willard Madison on August 4, 1949. They began their family and moved back to Greenway in 1955 to care for her mother. Four children were born to this union. Martha was of the Presbyterian faith and attended services her entire life as well as holding several different positions in the church. After Willard passed away in 1988, she taught another year and retired in 1989 with 36 years service. Through church and school, she touched the lives of many people. After retirement, she traveled extensively throughout the country and she ended up seeing Hawaii and most of the United States. She was always ready to go and even more ready to get back home to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
