Madden was the valedictorian of Wallkill Valley Regional High School's Class of 2015 before attending college and becoming a registered nurse, right before the COVID-19 pandemic, her obituary says.
"She was an incredible young woman with so much promise," David Carr, the superintendent for Wallkill Valley Regional High School said. "We are so sad to hear of her passing and our thoughts and prayers are with her family.
She worked as a nurse at hospitals in Newton and Morristown and in her free time, enjoyed visiting the Catskills, New Hampshire and the Berkshires, her obituary says.
Madden was being remembered as a supportive colleague and caring nurse.
"She made every patient feel heard, safe and loved," one person wrote on her Facebook page. "She made every coworker look on the bright side and stay positive, even on the hardest of times. She may have been 10yrs younger than me but she taught me patience, understanding and to love others and not be so serious."
Madden is predeceased by her sister, Abigail, her obituary reads.
She is survived by her parents, Michael and Betsy; sisters Jessica and Laura; her uncle, John and her aunt Peggie; her boyfriend Alan, her dog Guinness; and numerous other family members and friends, according to her obituary.
A cause of death has not been made public.
