Why I Love This Town

MADISON – During her career, Liz McCutcheon worked as a secretary, an apartment manager and a realtor.

“I worked on Main Street in Madison at Whitworth Realty and then at Advantage Realty,” she said. “I am retired now and doing lots of sitting on the sofa reading mystery/adventure books from Madison Public Library … usually with a cat on my lap.”

Many residents remember Liz from her participation with work and activities for Madison Business Association, with its slogan “Shop Madison First.” That organization grew into Madison Chamber of Commerce.

“My friend, Dee McIntyre, and I make semi-precious jewelry that we sell at arts and crafts shows in Madison and Huntsville under the name ‘Made in Madison,'” Liz said.

She and husband Bill moved to Madison in 1987. “I enjoy the small-town, friendly feeling offered in Madison,” she said. “I love going into a restaurant and knowing the people working there and feeling ‘at home.’ We have some wonderful friends and family in Madison.”

The McCutcheons’ daughters are Barbara Holmes Neumayr of Madison and Elizabeth Sumner of Huntsville. Their son, Keith McCutcheon, lives in Sula, Mont. Their granddaughters are Caitlyn Neumayr of Madison and Liza Sumner in Huntsville.

“Caitlyn sings in the children’s choir at Asbury United Methodist Church in Madison,” Liz said.

Liz was born and raised in Elmore and graduated from Wetumpka High School. “I went to college at Auburn University and moved to Huntsville in 1960,” McCutcheon said.

Liz enjoys most types of music. Her two local favorites are Kozmic Mama and Microwave Dave and the Nukes.

“We eat at most of the places in Madison and enjoy them,” she said. “I have a special high-top table at Applebee’s where my friends and I meet and enjoy cocktails.”

Liz and Bill have “two spoiled cats that rule the house,” she said.

Liz enjoys reflecting on Madison’s expediential growth. “When we first moved here, we had to go into Huntsville to grocery shop. What a change!”
