  • Marita Madsen Funeral

    Marita Madsen Visitation Sunday 8/28/2017 and Monday 8/29/2017 @ Bock Funeral Home, Glenshaw PA. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Tuesday in St. Bonaventure Church, Glenshaw. Burial will follow at Mt. Royal Cemetery.

    Marita MadsenPer writes: It has been a difficult departure as Marita was a very active person between her 20 years in Real Estate, her Gardening, Landscaping, Pre School children support and enjoying life with her friends. She never stopped. From a term I was taught many many years ago she was referred at times as my war department or my supreme leader. She was told by one officer’s wife that was part of bringing us together, that she was to train me as a puppy dog. This led to various types of fun over 40+ years. Now the interaction is quiet until we join together in some future place. Marita’s Obituary
