Remembering Madelyn Lucille Converse

Madelyn Lucille Converse, aged 86 of Wyoming , MI passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus on Monday, August 17, 2015. Her sister, Shirley Rasmussen passed away the following day. Madelyn was preceded in death by her parents, Mathew and Leona VanBergen. She is survived by her beloved husband of 64 years, Lyle; children Debbie (Scott) Crooks, Gregg (Marsha) Converse, Kay (Barry) Popma, Tricia (Jamie) Weaver; nine grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; sisters Helena Larson, Janet (James) Fouts; brother-in-law, Charles Rasmussen and several nieces and nephews. After attending Davenport College, she went to work for CIT Credit Corporation. Madelyn was loving and caring and lived for God and her family. She encouraged everyone to develop their talents to become productive contributors to society. Her advice was often sought because she had a keen eye for detail. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, August 29, 2015 at 11 a.m. at St. John Vianney Church, 4101 Clyde Park SW, Wyoming, MI with Fr. Michael Alber presiding. Relatives and friends may meet the family at the church on Saturday from 9:30 -11 am prior to the service. Memorial contributions may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
