Posted By On April 24, 2024 @ 12:00 AM In Goderich, Obituary | 45 Comments
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Harlyn Jeanette Linda Madge with her parents by her side watching her Toronto Maple Leafs at the London Children’s Hospital. Harlyn was diagnosed with a brain tumour on March 22 2024. Although her life was cut short she made the most of every day and always left a smile on everyone’s faces she encountered. Harlyn will be fondly remembered by her parents Shannon and Liam Madge. Her sisters Sloane and Letti. Grandparents Tom and Jana Vance. Penny Evans, Larry Madge and Jill Nyren. Aunts and Uncles. Rory Madge, Pat Madge(Claire), Sophie Madge-Nyren, Nicole Henriques(Felix), Callie Van Osch (Paul). Her cousins Adelaide, Afonso, Athena, Desmond and Holland. Also remembered by her great grand parents many great aunts and uncles and all her Brookside Public School friends. Harlyn loved the outdoors from biking, adventuring and camping with her family. She loved to be busy playing any kind of game or sport her favourites were hockey and soccer. She fought an amazing fight but cancer unfortunately had the upper hand. Her parents would like to personally thank Dr. Ranger and Dr. Zelcer and the staff at London’s Children Hospital. There will be a small private family grave side funeral.
A Celebration of Life May 5th 2024 from 1-4 at the Dungannon Ag Hall.

Although we have never met your granddaughter (Tom & Jana) we cannot wrap our heads around the pain and sorrow your hearts are feeling.
We send deepest sympathies and prayers for your beloved family. You have the best Angel watching over you all.
Mike and I are so sorry to hear this new. Our deepest condolences to you and your family.
I asked Shelby for a good memory of her friend Harlyn. She said “she always made my day. If I was sad she could always make me happy.” We will never forget our friend Harlyn.
I coached Harlyn’s U4 soccer team. We always knew we would win, if Harlyn was there. She scored many goals. She was the first one to have her hand up to answer questions and always had a smile on her face. She was a kind and supportive teammate to all. I really cannot imagine the tremendous pain you are all experiencing. Our deepest condolences. Alex, Andy, Cohen, Mac and Hugh Gammie

We are thinking of you and your family during this incredibly difficult time. When I think of Harlyn I think of everyone in the camping group passing her around as a baby, she was the cutest baby. She was the first baby of the second generation of campers and got lots of love from everyone. Sending our love.

So sorry to hear about the loss of Harlyn. I remember when she was first born and Shannon brought her to She-Devil hockey. Sounds like Harlyn loved hockey from that first dressing room visit. Thinking of you.

I am in deep sorrow for the loss of Harlyn, your Daughter (Granddaughter). Hold the love, joy and memories deep inside. Harlyn is a star in heaven, comforted by God.

To all the Madge and Vance Families. My heart,thoughts and prayers go out to all of you thru this difficult time. I cant even to begin to imagine the sorrow you are feeling at this time. Know we all are thinking of you all!
It was the greatest privilege to care for your precious daughter. Everyone here at the Children’s Hospital are thinking about Harlyn and your whole family. I saw the most beautiful photograph of Harlyn in the PCCU yesterday with your message, handwritten on the back of it—it has been remarked upon by so many people who also cared for her. What a beautiful smile! Thank you for sharing this picture because this is how I would like to remember her. I am so deeply sorry for your loss–there are no words adequate to express my sorrow–not just as one of her doctors but also as a parent. Please accept my condolences and sympathy.
Dearest Shannon, Liam, Sloane, Letti, Tom, Jana, Nicki, Callie and Families
We can’t imagine losing a child/grandchild so young. Cancer is a horrible thing and doesn’t care about age. She will always be with you in your hearts. Our prayers & sympathy are with the whole family
Michelle & David
