Madeline Keyworth

With heavy hearts and cherished memories, we honor the life of Madeline Keyworth, who passed away peacefully at her home on August 8, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. Madeline was born on April 14, 1936, in Glenridge, New Jersey, to Thomas and Angelina Alberti. She brought warmth and kindness to everyone she met, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew her. Madeline was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Walter Keyworth, with whom she shared a beautiful marriage since April 23, 1955. Together, they raised a loving family who carry forward their legacy of love and devotion. She was also preceded by her sisters, Genevieve Delaney and Teresa McCabe, Thomasina Strunk. A devoted mother, Madeline is survived by her children: Kenneth, Walter, Scott, Ralph Keyworth, Katherine Rosamilia, and Lois Olsen, Christine Savage. Her nurturing spirit and unwavering support were constants in their lives.

Madeline dedicated many years to serving her community as a crossing guard and later as a school bus driver for the Parsippany school system. Her meticulous nature and commitment to her family were evident as she managed the bookkeeping for her husband’s business. In her spare time, Madeline found joy in painting, crocheting, and bowling. She cherished the thrill of cruises and the sound of coins signaling a win at the slot machines. Madeline’s life was a testament to her generous spirit and loving heart. She was a wonderful wife and mother, always ready to lend a helping hand and spread smiles even while raising her seven children. Her warmth and kindness will be remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
