Madeleine Q Addams

Madeleine Quesenberry Addams, age 93, of Osprey, Florida, passed away peacefully on June 23, 2025 in Sarasota, Florida. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Madeleine was raised in Chestertown, Maryland by her devoted parents Nicholas and Madeleine (nee Mahony).

A long-time resident of Marysville, Ohio with her husband Carl, Madeleine was a dedicated social worker and supervisor of children services for the Union County Department of Human Services for 19 years. She was also Ohio’s inaugural recipient of the Outstanding Child Welfare Worker award.

After their retirements, Madeleine and Carl moved to Osprey, Florida, where they enjoyed boating, dancing, and spending time with friends. Madeleine continued her passion for service by volunteering at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church in Osprey.   

Madeleine’s greatest joy was her loving family. She was predeceased by her husband Carl and brothers Nicholas “Sonny” and William. She is survived by her son John, daughters Stacey and Patricia, son-in-law Jon, daughter-in-law Susan, grandchildren Lee, Ethan, Audrey, Kendall, and Eli, and sisters Cecilia and Lou and brother Rousby.
