Madelene McAnally, age 80, of Russellville, moved to her heavenly home on Sunday, April 30, 2023, at her residence surrounded by her family.
Madelene worked for years as an inspector at Lee Company. She was known as the oldest teenager her family ever met, always on the go and enjoying life. She loved her church family at Gateway where she faithfully attended. She was a mother to many and a home for several. Madelene loved to travel with her sisters and was always there for all her family and any of their special events. She always made sure we knew she loved us, and she showed us God’s love and kindness to all of us throughout our lives. She was kind, selfless, and truly one of the sweetest women and we will love and miss her forever.
