William "Bill" Robert Madren, 87, of Elkton, passed away at his home on Thursday, January 25, 2018. Bill was born March 5, 1930 in Alamance County, North Carolina and was the son of the late Rev. S.E. and Ruth G. Madren of Elon College, N.C. The family moved to Elkton from North Carolina in time for Bill to meet, Jean, the love of his life at Elkton High School. They were together 67 years. They enjoyed photography, gemstone collecting, gem cutting and making jewelry. Bill was a member of the Elkton Fire Co., Elkton Rescue Squad and JR. O.A.U.M.
Bill was preceded in death by his wife, Jean C. Madren, brothers, Alva, Thomas and Joseph and sister, Elizabeth. Bill is survived by one brother, James, of Layfayette, Louisianna, a special niece, Erica Martin of Mt. Crawford, a sister-in-law, a brother-in-law and a number of nieces and nephews.
Bill graduated from Elkton High School in 1947 and studied Business Administration at Elon College from 1947-1949. He began his business career at Seven-Up Bottling Co. of Elkton. He married his high school sweetheart May 16, 1953 and became Business Manager for the local Chevrolet Dealer, Hensley Sales and Service. He retired in 1996.
Bill was a member of Elkton United Methodist Church where he held many offices such as Financial Secretary, Auditor, Worship Chairman and substitute Lay Speaker.
Bill was proud to be active in many projects in the Elkton community, particularly those that benefited youth and many bear his name and/or the name of his late wife. Some example of these projects are the Ben Graessle Memorial basketball courts, Stonewall Park playground renovation, as well as numerous projects at both Spotswood and East Rockingham High Schools. He and his wife have several scholarships which will continue for many years, at these schools.
The family will receive friends at Kyger Funeral Home in Elkton from 6-8 P.M. Saturday January 27, 2018. Services will be held at Elkton United Methodist Church, 205 Warren St. Elkton V.A. at 2:30 P.M.
