Madeleine Annette DuBois, age 86, passed away in her sleep on May 7, 2011. A resident of Rio Rancho for the last 16 years, Madeleine was born in Paris, France, on September 27, 1924. She spent her early years growing up through the Depression and the Nazi occupation of France during World War II. Toward the end of the war, after Paris was liberated, she met a handsome, young American soldier and fell in love. They married and moved to her husband's hometown, Racine, Wisconsin.

A few years after retiring, she and her family moved to New Mexico to enjoy the warm sunshine and beautiful landscapes.
