It is with heavy hearts that the family of Madeleine Constance Georgeson announces her peaceful passing, with her family by her side, on Saturday, May 12, 2012 at the Emo Health Centre in Emo, Ont.

Her father worked on the railroad and their family moved many times when she was a young girl. She came to Emo at the age of 15, taking a job on a local farm for Robert and Elizabeth Georgeson.
It is there that she met her husband, Ernest Georgeson, and they were wed on Oct. 31, 1936. They lived on that farm together raising their family until his passing on Feb. 4, 1987 and her failing health forced her to move to Emo in 2003.
