In Loving Memory: Madi Wurster

Former School Program Coordinator at Erin’s House

The Erin’s House staff is learning their new normal in the office as we grieve the death of our co-worker and dear friend, Madi Wurster.

Madi was 25 years old and the “little sister” in our office. She started as an Erin’s House intern in 2022 and quickly stood out with her bubbly personality, infectious laugh, and heartfelt dedication to her work. She was hired part time in 2023 while she finished school, then officially became part of the full-time staff in 2024 after she graduated from PFW. She was a bright light on our school team, known for the way she led groups with warmth and skill, creating safe spaces where students felt comfortable sharing their grief. Madi raved about her role at Erin’s House to friends and family saying it was the “perfect fit.” We will forever believe and share that Madi was our perfect fit.

With Madi no longer with us, we are still reminded by her that joy and laughter can exist alongside grief. Her influence continues to guide how we show up for our families, the schools we serve, and one another. Her legacy lives on in the spaces she shaped, the students she supported, and the hearts of all who knew her.
