Madeline Adelaide White, 87, of Parade Road, Laconia NH, died November 28, 2012 at Catholic Medical Center in Manchester NH, following a period of failing health. Born in Whitefield, NH on December 19, 1924, she was the daughter of William and Mabel [Lawton] Johnson. Madeline grew up in Whitefield and graduated from Whitefield High School with high honors, class of 1943. In 1949, with her husband Elmer, and their children, she moved to Center Harbor NH, and then to Meredith NH in 1951. Madeline worked as a secretary at the Mountain View Hotel, and then at the former Mel and Quincy Chair Factory, both in Whitefield. After moving to Meredith, she worked as a spinner at the former Amatex Asbestos Mill, in Meredith, until her retirement in 1969.

In 1973, Madeline and her husband moved to Granby, MA to help start a church in that community. They returned to Meredith in 1989. She spent her life giving selflessly to others; showing the love of Christ in everything she did. Most recently, Madeline was involved with a group of senior ladies who served on the Note Care Ministry Team at the church. Each Tuesday they would get together and send out cards and notes for special occasions. Madeline loved spending time with family and friends and she was always ready for a game, a visit or a trip somewhere, anywhere.
