Madeline Adams Obituary

Madeline Adams
Born: November 21, 1954 in Joliet, IL
Died: March 11, 2026 in Clearwater, FL
Adams, Madeline "Maddie" J, 71, of Clearwater, FL passed away unexpectedly March 11th, 2026. Maddie was born Nov 21, 1954 in Joliet, IL to John "Jack" and Emily Adams. The third of four siblings and middle girl, Maddie was raised in Joliet and St. Petersburg, FL.
Maddie was a larger than life personality. She loved working with the public and those who met her, never forgot her. To meet her was to love her and admire her strength. A selfless single mother who devoted her life to giving her children the best life possible, she was as talented as she was beautiful. There was no project she couldn't perfect. Her artistic skill was only surpassed by her love for her family and kindness to animals.
She is reunited with her parents, grandmother, her special companion animals, Chekov and Raz, and is getting into mischief with her older sister, Mary (David) Stacel. She leaves behind two devoted children, Angel (Christopher Norris) Whitfield and Nicholas (Jennifer) Whitfield, her sister, Sandra (David) Watts, numerous cousins, nieces and nephews, grand nephews, and her furry, mostly companion, Serra.
At this time, there will not be any services. Donations can be made, in her name, to St. Francis Society Animal Rescue in Tampa, FL or your local animal rescue.
