Topsham-Elizabeth M. Wiseman, 99, passed away on March 31, 2022.
Known as Madge, she was born in Kellogg, Idaho, on August 20, 1922, to Arthur B. and Annie S.
Madge married K. William Wiseman on August 14, 1948, in Santa Monica, California, after which they moved to Venezuela with Mobil Oil, staying until 1961. From 1961 to 1970, Madge and Bill lived in Westport, Connecticut. They then lived in Libya from 1971 to 1974.
During her time of corporate life, Madge excelled and thrived in her role of supporting spouse, hosting events and providing meals to countless executives, including when her husband served as President of HSUS.
Madge was passionate about caring for animals and worked tirelessly to help people have their pets spayed or neutered, often providing transportation to and from clinics, adopted several animals herself, and heavily supported humane societies.
Madge was also an accomplished artist whose love of art was evident at a very early age. It wasn’t until her early 50s that she was able to focus her talents, studying Classical Academic Oil Painting at The Fine Arts Academy in Fairfield, Southport, Connecticut, with an emphasis on a sound approach to realistic painting in oil and acrylics.
Madge is survived by her nephews Rick (Sandra) Wadsley of Oregon and George Gunn (Margot) of England; a niece, Anne Canterbury, of Pennsylvania; great niece, Cammie (Jeff) Alexander; great nephew, Robert Garthwaite III; great-great nephews Joshua and Luke Alexander and Robert Garthwaite, IV as well as her dear friends Janet Kiehl and Damian Sokol.
