FAIRHAVEN — Madeline I. “Maddy” (Harrington) Wood, age 92, was born in Fairhaven and passed at Our Ladys Haven as did her mom on Tuesday, May 26, 2020. She was surrounded by the loving caregivers since no family members could be with her at her most trying moment due to Covid 19.
She was the wife of the late Milton W. Wood. She was the daughter of the late Henry A. and Lauline (Cromwell) Harrington. She was a member of the former Centre Methodist Church in Fairhaven. Madeline was employed in the textile mills for many years and was active with coastline elderly nutrition program, Dartmouth senior citizens council on aging. She loved music and dancing.
She should be known to all as a most loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt godmother, and best friend to her loving companion, Dale Kollars.
Her best times were shared with family and friends and always sacrificing for others.
She is survived by her son Len Fern and his wife Claire (Auger) of Lakeville; two grandchildren, Shawn P. Fern and his wife Jessica (Medeiros) Fern of Dartmouth and Shannon Fern and her companion Todd Letourneau of New Bedford, formerly of Dartmouth. She is also survived by the loves of her life – her two great-grandsons, Seth and Luke Fern.
Rip our “angel” until we meet again.
A private graveside service will take place for her family at Acushnet Cemetery.
