Madelyn T. Thalken

Mrs. Thalken taught me home economics at Vina Danks. So sorry to hear of her passing. I hope her family has peace and comfort in this difficult time.

I feel so honored to be part of your family. It was a privilege to know and love your Mother, she was a gift to all of us.

Such a sweet dear lady, Madelyn lit up the hall when she walked. She graciously chatted with me every time we met at Chaffey High School and I enjoyed her company immensely.

Madelyn's kind words settled my nerves in my early years of teaching and later I modeled my interactions with beginning teachers after her. A conversation with Madelyn made challenging days amusing with her smiles and easy laughter.

Madelyn is a treasure and is always remembered with a smile. My prayers...

What a beautiful and loving person. I also was a student of hers in the early 70's. We would meet numerous of times years afterward just to talk only to realize years later she was a concern person. 35 plus years later I still mention Mrs. Thalken to my wife. Mrs. Thalken still lives and have always been blessed by God

So sorry to hear about Mrs. Thalkens passing. I had her for two classes at Chaffey and she was one of my favorite teachers. The Thalken Family is in my thoughts and prayers.

You will always be a lovely memory for Mike and me at St. Church. You always had a smile and always encouraged us with our work at St. George. Rest In Peace dear friend. Mike and Magdalena Pacheco

I love you, Aunt Madelyn. You will be greatly missed. We'll meet again.

So sorry for your lost Joseph. She sounds like a wonderful mother.
