She was born at home on June 16, 1927, weighing only between two and three pounds, to Aliuse Joseph and Lucinda Bertrand Pitre in Elton, Louisiana. Madelyn was a Christian and lived her life by His standards. It was very important to her that her children grew up following The Lord's Will for their lives. At 18 she fell in love with, and married, 'her pastor,' remaining married to him until he passed away in 1982; then in 1999 she married for the second time marrying 'the love of her life,' her second husband. During the time she was raising her family, she made all their clothes, cooked three good meals a day, baked homemade bread, canned garden vegetables and prepared desserts from scratch; not-to-mention, while keeping an immaculate house. In her 'spare time,' she was a self-taught hair stylist to her husband, son, four daughters and herself. Later in life she worked outside of the home as the office manager for a dentist in Mer Rouge, Louisiana and later as an associate librarian in Missouri City, Texas. Madelyn was an excellent alto singer and taught herself to play the piano. She had a talent for working with her hands whether it was with fabric, crochet or embroidery.
