Elizabeth Marlene Madison

Elizabeth Marlene Madison, 70, of Clarksburg, passed away on Monday, February 10, 2026 at her home.  She was born on August 25, 1955 in Clarksburg, a daughter of the late Frank Golden and Betty Hurst Golden.

She is survived by her husband of 41 years, Victor Madison, whom she married on February 18, 1984.

She is also survived by three children, Brian Madison and wife Samantha of Omaha, NE, Stacey Madison Cornhoff and husband Tom of Oconomowoc, WI and Rodney Madison and wife Jamaica of Waynesburg, OH; ten grandchildren and one great grandchild; one sister, Margaret Campbell and husband Jim of Lost Creek; two nieces, Frankie Michelle Dennison and Melissa Campbell and one nephew, Lance Dennison.

In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by one sister, Sharon Dennison and one brother, Jon Kelly.

Elizabeth was a graduate of Washington Irving High School, class of 1973 and also attended classes at Fairmont State University.  She was employed as a secretary for the United Sates Air Force until her retirement.  Elizabeth was an avid reader who found great comfort and enjoyment in books throughout her life. She loved spending time outdoors, where she found peace feeding the birds and taking in the beauty of nature around her. She had a special place in her heart for her beloved dachshunds, who were loyal companions and a constant source of joy and laughter.

Elizabeth was known for being friendly and welcoming, never meeting a stranger. She could be ornery in the most endearing way, often teasing those she loved and keeping everyone on their toes. She was talkative, enjoyed good conversation, and had a wonderful sense of humor that brightened many days. Elizabeth’s warm spirit, sharp wit, and lively personality made her truly unforgettable to her family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

“There’s a place that I travel when I want to roam and nobody knows but me.  The roads don’t go there and the signs stay home and nobody knows it but me.  It’s far far away and way way afar.  It’s over the moon and the sea and wherever you’re going that’s wherever you are and nobody knows it but me.”

In honoring Elizabeth’s wishes, she will be cremated and interred at West Virginia National Cemetery.   condolences and memories online at www.davisfuneralhomewv.com.  Davis Funeral Home is honored to serve the Madison family.
