Patricia M. Madden

Patricia Mary (Killilea) Madden, 64 years young, peacefully crossed over to Heaven in her home on Friday, April 5, 2024. Patti was born November 2, 1959 in La Crosse, WI to Gaylord and Ila (Johnson) Killilea.

Patti was a graduate of Central High School. She dedicated her professional career to Bethany on Cass, Cathedral Elementary School, Chrishaven Group Home and Chileda.

Patti was a hip, spunky sole with a zest for life. She was a firecracker always on the go, walking around town, being a socialite. She loved to laugh, dance, sing and have a good time. Digging in the dirt planting flowers and crafting were some of her favorite things and amazing talents. She has touched the lives of many people over the years and will never be forgotten.

Patti is survived by her daughter Jessica Zanter; siblings Michael Killilea, JoAnne Conniff, Gregory Killilea, Steve Killilea; several nieces, nephews and ex-husband Michael Madden. She was preceded in death by her parents Ila and Gaylord, brothers David Killilea and Thomas Killilea, nephew Todd Killilea.

A Celebration of Life in honor of Patti will be planned with details to follow.

“If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane. I would walk right up to Heaven and bring you back again.” (Author Unknown)
