My condolences to the Rushton Family for the loss of Madelene, who with angel wings she took flight amongst the heavenly skies. She was an awesome lady who I some times thought as a second mom growing up as a kid. She will be dearly missed by Family and friends

To Sally, Maria and the rest of the Rushton Family, please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences on the passing of Madelene. Still have very fond memories of working with her back in the good old Tote days in the 70's & 80's. A lot of fun was had back in those days, a couple of drinks after the last race and of course the annual Xmas function. Madelene was fun to be around and can recall many happy times at race meetings with the Rushton & Forde Families of Gore. I know she will be greatly missed.

Such a beautiful, kind soul. I will always remember you Madelene, as the parent of a friend that would go above and beyond to show kindness and help out. You were one of the 'cool' mums!
A top lady that is now retiring to Heaven to be with her Saviour. Sending aroha and prayers to the family during this difficult time. <3
