The local newspaper’s publication of their wedding announcement read, “Buck Marries Nichols, Works for Penney’s.” To know Madge was to love her, with her outgoing personality, great sense of humor and unforgettable laugh. In addition to her classic sense of style, in navy or black, with pearls, always looking over her half-glasses. She would help anyone, anytime, in any way.
