Myron Madden died peacefully in his sleep early Tuesday morning. Myron was 95 years old. He had been alert and conversant the evening before, discussing with his wife Anne the need for them to plant two new fig trees. Ever reaching out to inquire about the feelings of others, he asked Anne how she was doing with all this sickness.
Withe the death of Myron CPSP has lost its patriarch. Myron served many years, until he was unable to travel, as chaplain to our annual Plenary Meetings. He blessed us in so many ways. He urged us onward with a faith in the value of the kind of work we do that inspired us all.
The following funeral arrangements for Myron have been announced:
Visitation at Honaker Funeral Home in Slidell, Friday, June 7, 4:00-8:00 pm
Visitation at Rocket Funeral Home, Ringgold, LA, Sunday, June 9,12:30-1:30 pm
Burial at the Madden Cemetery near Fryeburg, LA, Sunday, 2:00 p.m.
Memorial Service, St. Charles Avenue Baptist Church, New Orleans, June 15, 10:00 a.m.
On the same day Will Campbell also died. Will was not an official part of the CPSP, of course, but he was really one of us. Will was a memorable speaker at the CPSP Plenary Meeting in Virginia Beach in 2006. His obituary can be read in the June 5 edition of the New York Times.
