Maddie Trumble

Her light will continue
to shine bright

The woman who lit up every room

Maddie Trumble was the kind of person who made you feel seen, heard, and that you mattered. She never missed a beat when it came to keeping tabs on her friends and family, always wanting to know what had been happening in your world. A lover of music, festivals, good food, and even better company, she approached life with a joy that was utterly contagious. She was, without question, a party girl in the best possible sense: magnetic, generous, and always the person you wanted next to you on the dance floor, or the one grabbing your hand at a music festival, looking at you with her big blue eyes and yelling, "I want to get closer to the stage - let's go!"

But beneath the glitter and the glowstick necklaces, Maddie's greatest loves were closer to home. Her husband Matt and their daughter Maisie were everything to her. Her dad Paul, and her brothers James and Lach, were so deeply important to her - the kind of love that doesn't need saying out loud because it's always just there. And her mother, Louise, who sadly passed away when Maddie was a young girl - Maddie held her close in her heart with every step she took and every adventure she went on.

When Maddie was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, there is only one word for it: shattering. It broke her world apart. She shared her journey bravely and let those who loved her be there with her. She fought this beast of a disease right up to the last minute.

Together With Maddie was created while Maddie was still with us, as a way to collect tributes from friends and family - the ones you see on the tribute wall. It was also used to gather private tribute videos from friends and family all over the world, which Maddie viewed privately. They filled her heart and showed her the immeasurable impact she had on so many people throughout her life. Maddie loved this website. She wanted it to stay up forever, as a digital space where the people who loved her could always come back to her.

While you browse the site, honour the feelings that come up. Maddie is at peace - and we can honour her by keeping the memories alive forever.
