Madelyn Stieg, age 96, of Grand Rapids, danced her way into heaven to be with her Lord on Friday, December 15, 2023. Madelyn graduated from Miami of Ohio and earned her Master's Degree from Michigan State. She went on to serve as a 2nd grade teacher at Kentwood Public Schools for many years. She loved to ballroom dance and played in a country western band. Her day was not complete without her coffee and chocolate Hershey bar. She was a long-time member at St. Paul's United Methodist Church and was a dedicated volunteer for many various organizations. Madelyn was preceded in death by her husband, Dale; longtime dear friend, Wally Wheeler; sisters, Joyce Bishop, and Ruth Schaffner.  She will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, Nan and Mike Smigiel; granddaughter, Julie and Brandon Allen; great grandson, Dylan; and many nieces and nephews. The family expresses their sincere thanks to the care staff at Clark Retirement Home and Emmanuel Hospice for their loving care.  Honoring Madelyn's wishes, a private family committal service at Woodlawn Cemetery will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Paul's United Methodist Church.
