Susan (Caldwell) Madison

Susan Caldwell Madison, 68, of Statesville, passed away peacefully Wednesday,  January 23, 2019 at the Gordon Hospice House.

Mom, Mrs. Madison, Suz, Bubby, Oumi - however you knew her - to know Susan was to know acceptance, love, kindness, and compassion. These traits guided her as a nurse, teacher, and mother. She was a devoted member of Oakland Presbyterian Church and of the greater Statesville community. Susan drew strength from her faith to uplift all those she encountered. May her example always inspire us to be our most compassionate, gracious, and loving selves.

She graduated from Statesville Senior High School class of 68’ and Baptist School of Medicine (‘71), where she received her Associate degree in Nursing. She was a Registered Nurse with Davis Hospital and a loving daughter, sister, mother and grandmother.

Madison, and survived by four sons, Patrick Cline (Ashley) of Statesville, Andrew Madison (Laura) of Rockville, MD, William Madison of  Statesville, Benjamin Madison (Emmylou) of Statesville; five grandchildren, Josh Myers, Ada Madison, Rosalind Madison, Elijah Madison, Luna Madison; one sister, Lynn C.
