Madison Marie Dicken

Madison Marie Dicken passed away peacefully on January 19, 2025, in Elgin surrounded by love in the presence of her parents and brother. Madison “Maddie” was born on November 7, 1998, in Park Ridge, and lived a life of abounding strength, courage, and resilience despite the medical challenges that she faced. Maddie was a sweet, beautiful soul who loved her family, Disney music and movies, attending live theater productions, floating in her pool, and all things pink!
