She was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in December and fought a hard battle for two months. Born Madeline Sue Richardson on November 24, 1942, to Lois and Allen Richardson, in Los Angeles, California. At age 14, she met the love of her life, Raymond Scott Garner and they would date for a while but then went their separate ways until 1962 when they ran into each other again. They were married on September 14, 1962. They welcomed three children into their lives. She was a loving wife, companion, friend, mother, artist and well respected member of the local community.

While working for Edward Jones in Gardnerville, NV. one of her responsibilities was to meet with Nevada Senators and Congress members in Washington, DC, to promote certain legislation beneficial to the investment community.
