Madge was born September 9, 1933, in Amarillo, TX to Boone and Jessie Moreland. She attended Amarillo High School, then went on to TCU and transferred to the University of Texas, where she was a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority.

Madge was a beautiful person – inside and out! She was so special to everyone she knew. She had zest for life and for her love of the Lord. Madge had a strong faith in the Lord our God. She belonged to the First Baptist Church all her life. She taught children’s Sunday School at First Baptist Church for over 40 years and loved all the children that she had in her classes. Madge was gifted with many talents from sewing, needlepoint, decorating, entertaining, and even cooking! Nothing gave her more joy than to have family and friends around her efforts. She lit up a room with her beautiful smile. Everyone around her was enamored with her contagious smile and beauty! She always held a special place in her heart for her children and her great children. They adored being with Madge at every opportunity.

She worked hard for many years in bookkeeping for First National Bank in her young life and ultimately retired from working with Mark Kile, CPA. She enjoyed her involvement in the Amarillo Junior League and great events like the 49ers Dance, as well as her weekly Bridge Club and monthly Birthday Club.

Over the past few months, Madge developed health issues that she fought so hard to overcome. May she rest in peace, free of pain. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her.

Our family is so very thankful to all of the friends, family, business associates, waiters, and waitresses, who fostered the great relationships that Madge sought and she would want you to know that she loved each of you.

Viewing will be from 12:00 to 8:00 P.M. on Thursday, April 16, 2020 at Boxwell Brothers Funeral Home.

  1. Such a sweet lady. We hated to hear this news. Her smile was beautiful and her sweet heart was always evident. Prayers to the family as you learn to continue on without her. ❤️

  3. I was one of Stan and Madge Davis’ 3rd grade Sunday School students. There are only a handful of teachers that I vividly remember and they are part of that group. They had colored washers as money that you earned saying Bible verses. Then the “money” was traded in for toys. They both made a lasting impact on my life. Everytime I walk past their Sunday School class, I will always think of them.

  4. Oh how sad we were to learn of Marge’s passing! What a lovely and amazing woman!!!
    All I know for sure is that Harry and Madge were the most beautiful couple I have ever seen. May God bless and comfort this precious family❤️❤️❤️

  5. When I was 14, Madge became my aunt by marriage, but she and Stan always made me feel part of their family. I remember her lasagna on Christmas Eve on her beautiful Christmas china. She has always been a special lady and I was so glad she found love again. Our hearts go out to the family and hope the great memories she made will bring comfort to those of us left behind. Rest in peace Madge.
