William Leroy Maden

William Leroy Maden October 19, 1931 - April 29, 2015 William Leroy Maden, M.D. Gentleman & Scholar Bill Maden died April 29, 2015 at home surrounded by his family with tender support from Hospice of Citrus and the Nature Coast. Bill was born to Lucy Henard Maden and Lee Maden October 19, 1931 in Augusta, Georgia where Lee had gone to teach at Richmond Academy. Bill grew up in Augusta but spent many summers in Northeast Tennessee with family after the birth of his severely handicapped brother Jim in 1937. He was as likely to say he was "from East Tennessee" as Augusta because of many fond memories of summer on the farm. He graduated from Emory University in Atlanta followed by medical school at the University of Tennessee Memphis, then interned in Kansas City, and finally completed internal medicine and psychiatric residencies at Emory. He moved to New York City in 1962 to attend the Psychoanalytic Institute of Columbia University. He practiced psychiatry in New York City from 1962 to 1979 and was on the staff at Mount Sinai and New York Cornell Hospitals. He turned his love of teaching into an academic career at a new medical school at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee where he became the Psychiatric Residency Training Director. In 1995 he moved to Florida where he was Director of Mental Health at the Daytona Beach VA Clinic. Bill met Patricia Raulerson in New York City in 1964, a fellow Southerner, with the same values and love of family, outdoor activities, and natural history. Together they enjoyed backpacking, whitewater kayaking, skiing, and camping. They were married in 1966 and lived in New York City, Montville, New Jersey, Sullivan County, Tennessee, Ormond Beach and Crescent City, Florida before a seven year stretch in Bellingham, Washington where their two grandchildren live. Their three children, Stephen, Carter and Sarah were born in the Northeast but largely raised in beautiful Willow Hollow in the Tri Cities area of Tennessee. He is survived by his wife, Patricia Maden and by his children: Stephen Maden (Ciara Hall) of Florence, OR; Sarah Maden of the Bay Area, CA; Carter Maden (Rebecca Krueger) of Bellingham, WA; as well as two grandchildren, Rowan & Sage Maden of Bellingham, WA.
