Madison Elizabeth McDaniel

On May 23, 2023, Madison Elizabeth McDaniel, 20, passed suddenly in her home of Martinez, GA.

Madison was born in Augusta on November 8, 2002, and was a near life-long resident of Harlem, GA. Being a stellar student at Augusta University for the last 2 years studying psychology, Madison strived to touch the lives of everyone she met. She was a bright light to all those around her, never meeting a stranger and always having kind words to offer. Madison loved the Lord with all her heart and was an active member in church, always bringing joy into any room she entered. She loved Hello Kitty, made the best sushi rolls and loved eating at Habaneros Mexican Restaurant. She enjoyed trying new hairstyles, her makeup was impeccable; making photo shoots or TikTok videos with her fiancé or hanging out with friends was her favorite past time on weekends. Madison’s most recent goal was to buy a camper and enjoy nature as a “campy campperson”. Madison was a fighter against her lifelong ailments and “doing the hard things”, but God needed another angel. Madison, you are forever in our hearts: “I love you more”.
