Madison Elizabeth Sparrow - Spicer-Mullikin Funeral Homes & Crematory

Madison Elizabeth Sparrow

The parents of Madison Elizabeth Sparrow are mourning the loss of their daughter, who was taken from this world much too young at the age of 17. They ask readers to not only remember her beautiful spirit, but to remember to live life to the fullest because it’s much too short.

Madison was funny, outgoing, and vivacious, but she was also introverted and introspective. She was fiercely loyal to her friends and family. She was an excellent student and enjoyed tutoring young children. Becoming an elementary school teacher was a goal she had since the first grade.

Madison was a loving and compassionate person. She had an infectious smile and gave spirit lifting hugs. Her presence in the lives of all that knew her will forever be deeply missed.

Madison was preceded in death by her step grandmother, Cheryl Mason. She is survived by her mother, Heather Sparrow-Murphy (Kevin); father, Richard Prestidge (DeAnn); sisters, Molly Murphy and Gwendolyn Prestidge; maternal grandparents, Lt. Col. Wayne and Peggy Sparrow; paternal grandmother and step grandfather, Leti and Don Luciano; paternal grandfather and step grandmother, Tom and Val Prestidge; aunts, Elizabeth Sparrow Whiting (Christopher), Lauren Sparrow Meyer (Bill), Valerie Hilton (Brad), Aundi Prestidge and Cami Hiett (Russell); uncle, Mike Luciano; step grandparents, Tom Mason (Cindy Wilson); Dennis Murphy and family; and numerous cousins and friends.

A family-only viewing will be held at the funeral home and a Celebration of Life will be planned for a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that a donation be made in Madison’s name to Newark Charter School. Checks should be made payable to the school and mailed to 200 McIntire Dr., Newark, DE 19711.

  • Madison, I don’t know you but I have a son and daughter. From the video montage I see you had love in you life. Love is a gift, not everyone gets it, and it appears you were loved and that makes me happy. You did not deserve the end you experienced, you deserved to live a long and happy life. My heart goes out to your parents, extended family and friends. The worst part is there is no legitimate reason that you are gone, you should still be here. I wish your family peace in the experiences they’ve had with you, and joy in those experiences they wish you were there for. Live fully, love all the way, experience happiness and joy whenever you can. In Madison Sparrows name I pray!

  • God rest her sweet beautiful soul. God help everyone who knew her to have Your grace upon them to live as she would have wanted them to.

  • Surrounding you in prayer and white light as you mourn the loss of your sweet girl. I will always remember her beautiful smile, her kindness, her work ethic, and her loving heart. She was so saddened by Aunt Polly’s treatment of Pollyanna as we read that book together in 4th grade, and truly rejoiced when she finally admitted that she loved Pollyanna💕I also remember that she cried at the end of Robin Hood, when he passes away. She is soaring among the angels now, and will be with you in spirit to comfort you through this time. Her gentle ways and loving heart will always serve as a reminder to the rest of us to be like Madison- to love one another.

  • My deepest condolences to your family for this unbearable loss. No one should ever have to feel this pain. Hugs to your family.

  • Dear Madison Elizabeth Sparrow’s Family:

    Thank you for the kind opportunity to share a few words about Madison with you during this challenging time. Words like loyalty, funny, outgoing, and vivacious. Compassionate and spirit-lifting hugs. These are the words used to tell the story of your loving daughter. Words and phrases that brought me into the world of a young woman I had not had the opportunity to meet. But a young woman who already impacted this world, friends, family members and I would guess, countless other lives. Her smile is infectious and I can feel her giving a spirit-lifting hug to anyone in need; at any moment in time, especially the children. I am truly blessed to have met your daughter, granddaughter, sister, cousin, niece, and friend through your words and pictures. May God bless and keep you all during this difficult time. Kindest regards, Diane Rossi MacKay

  • My sincerest condolences to Madison’s family, and friends, for their irreplaceable loss.

    On my heart. So sorry for your loss
