Madison was a healthy 24 year old young woman who worked with her dad, Bryan Wakeford, laying flooring. She was a talented artist, painting, sketching, crocheting. Madison would spend hours talking with her mom, Katrina Pirkola, telling her of big plans for the future.

Gardening with her grandmother was a passion, as was learning about and sharing interest in birds and butterflies. Madison was kind and generous with her time and energy and is missed by everyone who knew her.

On the day after a happy family gathering, Katrina found her youngest child unresponsive, snuggled up under the covers, holding her baby blanket. To her horror, when she touched Madison, it was evident that her baby was no longer alive.

Madison was a happy young woman and her death was completely unexpected. Katrina and Bryan are so devasted by the sudden loss of their child that they can barely eat, sleep, or move. Please contribute to help them pay the bills as they process this unimaginable loss.
