children, Laurie, John, and Bill. While her children were young,

District. When her children were grown, she worked at the County
Assessor's Office and at CPA firms in Los Gatos. She enjoyed many
trips to the family cabin in Mariposa, CA, as well as bowling and an
occasional visit to the local Indian casinos. Madeline is survived by
her husband of 54 years, Bill; her daughter Laurie Probst(Dave); her
sons John (Jocelyn Stephen) and Bill (Lisa Sneler); her sister JoAnne
Vincenzini (Mark); her aunt Jean Fanelli; and her grandchildren
