Virginia Mae Madewell

Virginia Mae Madewell of Fort Worth, Texas went home to be with the Lord on September 7, 2021, at the age of 91. She was at her home surrounded by family. Virginia was born on December 29, 1929, in Fort Worth, Texas to Hubert B. and Eva May Brown. Virginia married her high school sweetheart, J.D. Madewell Sr., on July 11, 1947, and they were married for 70+ years prior to his passing.

She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother who cared for others. She loved going to church, spending time with family and friends, and traveling. Virginia especially loved family gatherings to celebrate holidays. She would encourage both the children and adults to play “drop the clothes pins in the bottle” and “count the beans in the jar”. Virginia was an excellent cook also, and we all enjoyed the great food and pies she prepared. She almost always made a different pie or dessert for each person in the family. Virginia also had a great memory. She always remembered everyone’s birthday. She really knew how to make you feel special. She is truly a very special person.
