so many friends who were like family, the more the
merrier. She loved nothing more than her friends and
family sitting around her table talking and eating
her awesome cooking. She could put a huge spread on
the table in a moment's notice. Everything had at
least one to two sticks of butter.
Throughout her life, she touched many friends and
co-workers with her love of life. She was strong in
her church, faith and showed her love for God
through her daily life. All who knew Gladys has one
or two FUNNY stories to tell about her. She had a
natural humor that touched us all and could make you
laugh beyond tears.

Wayland Russell Madden
Dec 5, 1946 - Feb 3, 2021
 Wayland
Russell Madden was born on December 5, 1946 in
Corsicana, Texas to E.C. "Cotton" Madden and Lena
Mae Doolen Madden. He lived in Corsicana until his
6th birthday when the Madden family moved to Sweeny,
Texas. He attended Sweeny schools throughout his
school career and played saxophone in the marching
band. He also served as the band vice president.
Throughout his childhood, he attended First Baptist
Church where at 9 years old, he gave his heart to
the Lord. Wayland was a proud graduate of the class
of 1965. He then attended and received an
Associate's Degree from Wharton County Junior
College, followed by attending Sam Houston State
University where he received a Bachelor's Degree in
Business Administration. He then moved to Houston.
During his career, he was employed by the IBM
Corporation and worked in the automobile industry
for 3 years. Wayland then transitioned to work for
Fluor Engineering for a brief time before landing in
healthcare business office administration. For the
remainder of his career, he worked in this industry.
While attending First Baptist Church in Houston, he
met Bettye Maye Hawks, who he married in May of
1973. Wayland and Bettye were active members of the
church choir. In September of 1977, Wayland and
Bettye were blessed with their only child, Stephanie
Elise. Many relationships were formed and special
memories were made while raising Stephanie. Patrick
Worchesik joined the family in 2005 when he and
Stephanie were married. For a period of 10 years,
Wayland and Bettye were active members of The Church
of the Holy Apostles in Katy. After moving to
Cypress, Texas in 2009, Wayland and Bettye were
blessed with 2 grandchildren, Kennedy Elise and
Peyton Madden. In recent years, Wayland has lovingly
been called Papa and thoroughly enjoyed every minute
of his time with them. Kennedy and Peyton have been
his whole world. While living in Cypress, Wayland
and Bettye found a new church home in Second Baptist
Cypress. Wayland enjoyed weekly lunches at Willie's
with the senior church staff where good
conversations were always on the menu. In more
recent months, his diagnosis with cancer interfered
with his ability to be as active as he once was.
After a heroic battle with peritoneal cancer,
Wayland was called to his eternal home the morning
of February 3, 2021. He leaves behind a beloved wife
of 47 years, a devoted daughter and son-in-law, 2
beautiful grandchildren, a loving sister and
countless relatives and friends. The family would
like to thank Dr. Luis T. Campos and Dr. Ricardo H.
Alvarez with Oncology Consultants, Dr. Joseph Cali,
Jr. with UT Physicians and his longtime attending
physician, Dr. David Reininger for their outstanding
medical care. The family would also like to thank
the amazing staff of Providence Home Health &
Hospice and Cornerstone Caregivers for their
expertise in helping make his final days peaceful. |
