Madison Claire Backiel gained her angel wings Monday morning, May 20th, 2024. She passed peacefully at home with her family. Madison fought a life-long battle of health complications following a rare meningitis diagnosis when she was just 11 days old. She was a true mommy and daddy’s girl, anyone who met her knew her sweet angelic face, beautiful blue eyes, and fire-red curly hair. Madison loved being outside in the sun and in the pool. She adored her siblings and cousins so much.
Madison is survived by her parents John and Kelly, siblings Caroline and Theo, grandparents John Sr., Gail, Terri, Jackie, aunts, uncles and 6 cousins.
Visitation will be Friday, May 24th from 1:00-5:00 PM at the Holmdel Funeral Home, 26 S. Holmdel Road, Holmdel, NJ 07733. A mass of Christian burial will be offered on Saturday, May 25th at 10:00 AM at St Elizabeth Church of Hungary, Linden, NJ. Burial will follow at St. Gabriel’s cemetery in Marlboro.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Madison’s memory to the National Organization for Rare Disorders at rarediseases.org. An organization working to solve the greatest challenges and unmet needs in rare disease patient care, treatment, and research.
