Madeline "Maddie" Ann Best, 16, of O'Fallon, Ill., died Friday, Oct. 20, 2023, as a result of a tragic auto accident. She was born Feb. 6, 2007, in Belleville, the daughter of Kory and Tammy (Rodenmayer) Best of O'Fallon.
Maddie was a junior at O'Fallon Township High School, where she was a vital part of the student body. Maddie loved serving on the Student Council, where she had the opportunity to contribute to the school spirit and embrace the fun that high school life can offer. She recently had a great week celebrating Homecoming with her friends. She was a former member of the OTHS Band and was currently on the tennis team. She will be missed by her fellow classmates, teammates and friends at OTHS. She was much loved in her neighborhood where she was often the go-to babysitter; Maddie had even created a "Maddie Camp" for the younger kids in the neighborhood to come together during the summer months to learn and be creative. For her entire short life, she aspired to be an elementary teacher.
She is survived by her parents, Kory and Tammy Best of O'Fallon; her younger brother, Logan Best; grandmothers, Beverly (Gus Piening) Best of Edwardsville, Judy (Tom) Dorris of West Frankfort; great-grandmother, Norma Best of Staunton; aunt, Lindsey Wulfing of Troy; and cousins, Chase and Grant Wulfing. She was preceded in death by her aunt, Ginger Broy; and grandfathers, Terry Best and Ralph Rodenmayer.
Funeral services were held on Sunday, Oct. 29, at Cornerstone Church in Shiloh with Pastor Chris VandeLinde officiating. Burial was at O'Fallon City Cemetery.
Memorials are suggested to Kory and Tammy Best to be used toward supporting various OTHS activities, events, and scholarships. Online condolences may left at http://www.wfh-ofallon.com. Wolfersberger Funeral Home, O'Fallon, Ill., was in charge of arrangements.
