• Notes

  WEST, Madeline Was born in Big Timber, MT, on January 30, 1922; she passed away in Rancho Cordova, CA, on November 21, 2004, and she was 82 years of age. Madeline was a loving wife of 30 years to Henry West of Rancho Cordova. A mother, surrogate mother, mentor, neighbor and friend, she will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. Always gracious, with a kind heart, she embraced young and old alike. Her crafts, calligraphy and art expression were widely displayed in her home and shared among her family and friends. A lifelong teacher who always found joy in singing songs to her young preschool charges at the Cordova Baptist Preschool and Kindergarten or simply teaching neighborhood children to sew. She involved herself in the lives of everyone around her. Words cannot express the love we all feel at the loss of such a warm and kind woman. She was preceded in death by her first husband, Stuart Alter, and survived by their children, Jerry Alter (Ramona) of Placerville and Jim Alter (Pat) of Rancho Cordova and sister Geraldine Kozul of Sacramento. She is also survived by two step sons, Stephan West (Linda) of Lancaster, CA and Robert West (Marcia) of Grand Forks, ND, three stepgrandchildren, Aaron, Kiersten and Nicole and two step-great-grandchildren, Caroline and James. The Funeral Service of Remembrance is at 11:00 AM on Saturday, December 11, 2004, at MOUNT VERNON MORTUARY, 8201 Greenback Lane, Fair Oaks. The final resting place is Mount Vernon Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to the Alzheimers Association, P.O. Box 1824, Sacramento, CA 95812.
