MADELINE JOHNSON SLACK

Madeline J. Slack, age 61, entered peacefully into eternal rest at Ochsner Medical Center Main Campus on Monday, October 7, 2024. She was a native of Avondale, LA and a lifelong resident of Marrero, LA (Walkertown Community). Madeline was a graduate of L. W. Higgins High School, Southern University at New Orleans, and the University of New Orleans, where she earned her Masters degree in Education. She was an educator for over 20 years, who believed in the potential of every child and worked tirelessly to help them achieve their goals. Her love for teaching was evident in her engaging classroom environment. While teaching was her main passion that didn’t stop her from other pursuits. Her love for baking and the demand for her baked goods would spin off into her own side business, providing pies, cakes, pralines, gooey and more. Madeline’s warm smile, compassionate and giving spirit will hold everlasting memories in the hearts of all who loved and knew her.
