West Michigan 'Original Rosie Riveter' Madge Cowles shares her story

Weltha "Madge" Cowles is my Step Great Grandma. She was an original Rosie Riveter!!!
She worked at the Willow Run Bomber Plant in Michigan alongside her father Wayne Mead building B-25 Bombers during WW2. Three of her brothers were oversea's fighting in WW2; Harold, Howard, & Herbert Mead.
I only got to meet Madge a couple times when I was very little. She was truly generous, kind, and an overall amazing woman.
Madge soon met my Great-Grandpa Bob Cowles. Bob was a widower with 2 sons named Loren & Bill Cowles (Bill is my Grandpa) when he met Madge in 1949. Madge & Bob married 2 years later on November 10, 1951. They had 4 daughters together; Annie, Jan, Beth, & Thelma Cowles. Their family of 8 was complete. Bob & Madge were married for 58 years before Bob died in 2009. She was famous for her pies, cinnamon rolls, & baked bread! She always wanted to make everyone smile! She was an amazing woman who won't be forgotten.
