Madeleine Mary Toulas was born on September 3, 1992, in Cincinnati, Ohio. She is the daughter of George and Carol Toulas. She died on May 22, 2025.

She was an energetic and curious girl who grew into an accomplished young woman. As a young person, she loved music and played several musical instruments. She was also a competitive equestrian who competed in many international events.

After high school, she attended college at the University of Montana. One of the most important decisions she made was to give her life to Christ at the age of 10.

In her professional life, she worked as a Harm Reduction Specialist at ALFA located in Hickory, N.C. She displayed compassion and a selfless desire to help those struggling with the disease of addiction.

However, her true passion was motherhood, which was clear to anyone who witnessed her love for her daughter, Samara.

Remaining to cherish her memories are her fiancé, Cordearo Stinson; her parents, George and Carol Toulas; her daughter, Samara Stinson; her siblings, Rosemary, Alexander, and Charlotte; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends, all of whom loved her dearly.

Visitation for family and friends will be on Thursday, May 29, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. A Celebration of Madeleine’s Life will be on Friday, May 30, at 2 p.m. in the Chapel of Cavin-Cook Funeral Home. Burial will follow the service in Glenwood Memorial Park.
