Madeline worked as a cashier for IPS and Selective Service and was a secretary for Storm Lake Community Chest.

Madeline participated in her community as well, having been a board member and past president of Wa Tan Ye, a member of the Saratoga Club, and a member of the Methodist Manor Guild.

She was also very patriotic.
