Mary Madejczyk of Buchanan, Michigan left this world to return to the Lord on September 15th at the age of 104. Mary was born in Chicago on December 2, 1916 to John and Julia Piwowar, of Poland. On May 29, 1937 she married Adolph J. Madejczyk (of Fennville, Michigan) and moved to become a farmer’s wife. Mary and Adolph raised three sons (Kenneth, Daniel, and Joseph) on that farm and were married for 48 years until Adolph passed in the spring of 1985. In 1986 Mary moved to Buchanan, Michigan and lived the remainder of her 104 years there. Mary enjoyed volunteering at the River Valley Senior Citizen Center until the age of 103.

Madejczyk (of Buchanan, Michigan), and Joseph C. Madejczyk (of Dewitt, Michigan), their spouses, seven grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
