It is with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved Madison Elizabeth Bragg, age 21, was called home on October 30, 2024 in Frankston, Texas in a car accident. Madison was an angel sent from heaven – a gift from God who showed us how to live with grace, compassion and purpose. Born April 7, 2003 in Corsicana at Navarro Regional Hospital, she embraced each day as an opportunity to grow, give and change the lives of others.
As an accomplished young woman, Madison lives authentically, passionately, and lovingly. She was a Teague High School valedictorian, Class of 2021, a talented golfer who advanced to state her senior year. Madison received a degree from Texas A&M University in Public Health, graduating early with honors in May 2024. She was currently enrolled in the BSN program at UT Tyler, expected to graduate in December 2025, working in assisted living and hospital , but her lifelong dream was to be a hospice nurse. Caring for others was her passion and calling.
Madison’s life exemplifies the scriptural call for faithful stewardship of our time, talents, and gifts. She dedicated her short time on earth to living with intention, compassion and faith – giving her best in every endeavor, caring for others and always striving to leave the world better than she found it .
Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched. Madison was a radiant presence who lived life to the fullest and loved deeply. Her spirit will remain as a guiding light, reminding us to value our time, love fiercely, and serve others. She will be missed but never forgotten as she left this world brighter and more beautiful.
