Madge Saunders

Marjorie Prentice "Madge" Saunders (25 February 1913 – 2 March 2009) was a Jamaican Christian minister and community worker.

Saunders attended Free Hill School in Port Maria, and began working as pupil-teacher in Galina at the age of 14.

From 1965 to 1968 she studied at St Colm's College in Edinburgh, Scotland, and on her return to Jamaica was made a deaconess and employed as the church's first full-time youth organiser.

Saunders established various programs to help new arrivals, and authored a book, Living in Britain, which was subsequently translated into Gujarati and Urdu.

She was assigned to the Salem United Church in Saint Mary, the first woman to take charge of an entire congregation – Adlyn White had been ordained in 1973, but worked in administrative roles.
