Peter N. Madden, M.D.

Passed peacefully on September 10, 2021 at the age of 85 joining his loving wife Judy Schradle Madden, who preceded him in death. He was also preceded in death by his brother John Madden, daughter Ann Madden, and nephew Charlie Vaughn. The beloved father is survived by his three children James (MaryBeth) Madden, Peter Madden, and Katherine (Charlie) Jones; and stepsons Curt (Leanne) Helgeson and Jason (Kris) Helgeson. He was the proud Grandpa of Melanie (Chris), Jake, Olivia, John, Cole, Joe, Annika, Caroline, Ryan, and Tyler; and two great-grandsons CJ and Carter. He is further survived by his sister Mary “Mimi” Vaughn; nephews John Vaughn (Darcy Miner) Peter Vaughn (Hiram Williams), and Conor Vaughn; and the mother of his children Nancy Y. Madden.

 After graduating medical school at the University of Minnesota with his M.D., he completed his residency at the Mayo Clinic in Radiology. He worked at Elmbrook Memorial hospital for more than 27 years. Peter was a voracious reader who loved to travel, listen to jazz and classical music, and loved his glass of wine. He was a life-long sailor, and enjoyed golf and tennis, as well as gardening, bird watching and spending time in nature. Above all, he enjoyed his time with his family, and loved them dearly.
