Maddie Mae Tingle, the beloved nine year old Golden Retriever and cherished member of the Tingle family, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Wednesday, April 15, 2026.

Maddie found pure joy in life's simple pleasures. Her favorite toys—her ball, her Santa toy, and her collection of stuffed animals—were never far from her side. She especially loved tossing her ball around and splashing happily in her little pool, which had been her special place for years. On warm days, you could often find Maddie cooling off in the water with her mom tanning in the sun right by her side.

She had a way of connecting with everyone she met. If you sat down, Maddie would be right there, gently offering her paw as if to say hello or to ask for just a moment of your attention. She loved to cuddle with anyone and her friendly presence was always at the door waiting to greet you into her home.

Her favorite treats were simple but special—ice-cold water and her beloved bones. She also found happiness in sitting outside, quietly taking in the world around her, enjoying the breeze and every scent it carried.

Maddie will be deeply missed by her mom, Shawntale Tingle and family, her fur siblings, Hazel Grace and Cooper, as well as by everyone whose lives she touched. Her gentle spirit, playful heart, and unwavering love leave behind a lasting imprint that will never fade.

Though she is gone, Maddie's memory will live on in every wag of a tail, every sunny afternoon, and every quiet moment filled with love.
