WINONA, Minn. — In the spirit of a poetry slam, friends of Maddi Kingsbury are inviting musicians to express their feelings in a loosely organized performance at a memorial service. The service for the slain 26-year-old woman will be June 25 at Winona State University. “To honor Maddi’s love for music, we are asking for artists or groups willing to donate their time to play,” the group said in an online invitation. Responses came quickly. Among them, from Elizabeth Indra, operations manager at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum: “I’m a violinist and honored to play, either solo or as an accompaniment to other instrumentalists or vocalists. While I never knew Maddi personally, I’m a domestic abuse survivor and mom of three little ones, so her story really hits home.”
