Madi (Paulette) Ahnquist 2010

LifeTalk

Madison (Madi) is the third child of the Paulette family - all four (Alex, Jenna, Madi, and Garrett) graduated from PCA. Their mom, Traci, was a beloved Kindergarten teacher for 13 years at PCA. In 2019 Madi moved to Nashville, TN where she has been living and working. Madi has been teaching art for 10 years and a couple of years ago transitioned to an elementary art position at Lipscomb Academy. Madi met Smith Ahnquist near the end of her cancer journey and they were married on June 10, 2023. A large part of Madi’s story is her diagnosis and battle with breast cancer. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 29, which was a huge shock for a health-conscious young woman. Her journey is filled with incredible highs and lows and times when God showed up and provided for her in miraculous ways!
