She married Eugene Vought on December 21, 1939 in Washburn, ND. They made their home in Garrison except for the couple years they lived in Tacoma, WA from 1943 to 1945. Madeline was employed at the Garrison Memorial Hospital for 35 years as a nurse's aide and when she wasn't working, she volunteered for any event or help that was needed. Her dedication to the hospital, especially the "third floor" was a true gift to those she worked with and helped. Beyond work and volunteering, Madeline was an active member of the Town and Country Circle at the First Congregational Church in Garrison.
Madeline loved to read and go for walks. She also knitted afghans, most of which went to her grandchildren. Her golden years were spent on the "wild side", playing card games with her great grandchildren. They loved to play blitz, rummy, and poker with great grandma; mostly because they always seemed to win her pennies and nickels.
