    Madora and Gordon had five children: Rhonda, Gary, Mary
    Elizabeth, Susan and Steven. She has lived in York since
    January 1958. She has been a member of First United
    Methodist Church of York for over 50 years and enjoyed
    Deborah Circle. She was first a member of Blanch Baptist
    Church and later became a member of Riverside Church in New
    York City. Madora enjoyed travel and accompanied Gordon to
    three Rotary International Conventions in Denver, Mexico
    City and Birmingham, England. She was also a Rotary Paul
    Harris Fellow. She and Gordon visited 48 of the United
    States, Sweden, Norway and Germany, as well as, visiting
    all six Eastern European countries, including Yugoslavia,
    before the breakup occurred. A favorite country was
    Romania. Separate trips included all of Turkey and later
    Southeast Asia, including Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore.

    Madora is survived by her husband, Gordon B. Fillman of
    York; her daughter, Rhonda (Brad) Barrows of Denton; son,
    Gary (Gina) Fillman of Omaha; daughter, Susan (David) Wood
    of Lincoln; and son, Steven (Karen) Fillman of York;
    brother, William K. (Margie) Powell of Danville, Va.; and
    sister, Elizabeth Ann (David) Sparks of Ringgold, Va.;
    sisters-in-law, Myrtle Powell of Charlotte, N.C. and Gwen
    Dahlquist of Minneapolis, Minn.; grandchildren, Jennifer
    Guido, Stephanie (Aaron) Bauer, Hannah Fillman, Elizabeth
    Fillman and David Fillman; great-grandchildren, Taylor
    Guido and Noah and Mason Bauer; step-grandchildren, Liz
    (David) Chalenburg with sons Aiden and Holden, and Ryan
    (Anne) Barrows and daughter Martha; and several nieces and
    nephews.

    Preceding her in death were her parents; her brother,
    Robert G. Powell Jr.; and brother-in-law and sister-in-law,
    Warren and Joan Fillman; and an infant daughter, Mary
    Elizabeth, who died in 1959. Madora was a very loving
    person and enjoyed her family and friends very much. She
    had hundreds of books and magazines and delighted in
    reading to her children when they were young and her
    grandchildren. She was also an excellent cook and we always
    enjoyed her fried chicken and all types of desserts that
    she made, including zucchini bread. One of her favorite
    activities was sitting on the front porch having coffee
    with her friends. If it was raining late at night, she
    enjoyed very much being out on the porch and watching it
    rain. She was a dear person and we will miss her very much.
