Anna worked at numerous jobs from a very young age. She worked for CBS Hytron in Danvers, Mass., before moving to California in 1956, where she was employed by Ampex in Redwood City. One of her favorite jobs was teaching classes in religion for The Holy Innocent, mentally challenged children. She received awards from Queen of the Apostles Catholic Church in San Jose, Calif., and from the bishop for her devotion and excellent teaching skills.
She loved children, the garden and doing for others. While a resident at Barton Memorial Nursing Facility she made many friends. Staff members would go to her room on their break to have her teach them how to knit. Anna enjoyed making booties, hats and blankets for babies, scarves for just about everyone she knew, and afghans for all her family members. All dogs that visited the facility received knitted Christmas collars from her.
Barton Memorial Nursing Facility was a place where Anna had a mission, and in the years she lived at Barton she contributed a great deal. Her smiles and caring gestures brightened the lives of many residents. She handed out "Never Give Up" signs from Father Jim Mifsid and they hang everywhere in the facility.
She enjoyed reading to a blind friend and took residents upstairs to the hospital to see other residents who had to be hospitalized. She spent time with those in the last hours of their life, comforting them, holding their hand and assuring them everything would be all right.
Before moving to Lake Tahoe, Anna resided in Santa Clara, Calif. When she lived at Valley Village, an independent living facility, she made many friends and brought joy to them. Everywhere Anna has lived, she made friends. Her children's friends became her friends and loved her like she was their own mother or grandmother. She was a devoted mother and will be deeply missed by family and friends, and never will be forgotten.
To know Anna was to love her. She could discuss anything from politics to sports. She loved to watch Larry King, CNN, football and baseball and Tiger Woods play golf. She also loved talk radio. Irish music was one of her favorites to sing and listen to.
Anna made it her business to understand what was going on in whatever community she lived. She was very proud to be able to say that she voted in every election from the time she was of age to vote. Her strong faith is something that she would tell you had carried her through the hard times in her life.
Her faith also helped family and friends get through their hard times. She was always saying a prayer novena for someone.
People who knew her said that she had a direct line to heaven.
She is survived by her daughters, Carolann Crawford of Florida and Mary K. Parker of South Lake Tahoe; son, Donald R. Murphy of LeGrange, Calif.; grandchildren, Kevin, Steve and Mark Crawford, Kenneth and David Murphy and Kimberly and Kelly Parker; and great-grandchildren, Ryan, Rachel, Cody, Eric, Alex, Addy, Macy, Amber and Ryan.

David Hawley Madden
David Hawley Madden passed away June 10, 2006, with his four children at his side. He was born May 12, 1924, in Elkhart, Ind., to Ralph and Ella Marie Madden. His family moved, with the hundreds of thousands of others families during America's Great Depression, to seek a better life in the storied land of California. His father had been a professional soldier and security guard most of his life, and his mother worked for many years as an accounting clerk.
Mr. Madden had been born in Indiana due to the path of his maternal grandfather, Hobart Davis, a musician in John Phillip Sousa's band and instrument maker who worked for the then-thriving instrument makers of Elkhart. Mr. Madden began playing music professionally by age 15, and shortly thereafter his mother purchased a car for him so that he might be able to perform more readily. A childhood friend totaled the vehicle within weeks, but by age 17 Mr. Madden's salary exceeded by several times that of his parents' combined income.
His greatest love was the tenor saxophone, and as was the case for most professional musicians of his era, he developed proficiency on all the instruments in his instrument's family, the reeds. Thus, his saxophone, clarinet, and flute playing were found on dozens of records made in the Big Band era, with Mr. Madden's contributions throughout the core of American popular music of the mid-20th century. He played and recorded with Jerry Gray, Woody Herman, Stan Kenton, Johny Green, Bob Florence, Hoagy Carmichael, Billy Eckstine, and Harry James. This career saw him on the road for decades, playing in all the dance halls, casinos, jazz and night clubs of America.
As the Big Band era drew to a close, he found further employment in Las Vegas and then moved to South Lake Tahoe, where he was an original member of the Brian Farnon orchestra at Harrah's. When he left in 1988, he was the last original member of that band. There, he had played behind all those who entertained at casinos, from the "Rat Pack" members, Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra, to such disparate entertainers as Glen Campbell, Sarah Vaughn, Bill Cosby and John Denver.
Mr. Madden knew many of the great musicians of the century and, if persistently coaxed, had untapped treasures of lore, from playing Scrabble in San Francisco with band mate Stan Getz, to receiving compliments on his time - jazz musician slang for rhythmic and metric integrity - from band mate Buddy Rich, to walking out on a jam session with fabled bassist Charles Mingus, because in Mr. Madden's opinion, Mr. Mingus "... wasn't playing any time."
Mr. Madden's other loves included literature, good food and baseball. Being a musician was his second career choice, as his dream of a life as a baseball pitcher did not appear by his teenage years as likely to work out.
Mr. Madden succumbed after many years of declining health at a nursing home following a fall. He was surrounded in the last minutes of his life by his four children, who had come from all across California. Mr. Madden was twice divorced.
He is survived by his brother, Chuck of Rowland Heights, Calif.; sons, Marcus of Penn Valley, Calif.; Kris of San Dimas, Calif.; Kevin of San Francisco; and daughter, Melissa Andersen of Rocklin, Calif.; and five grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his sister, Mary.
Mr. Madden will be especially missed by his children, his many friends, some of whom he knew and stayed in touch with for more than 65 years, and the neighbors and even medical personnel who came to know his gentleness and sardonic wit.
At his request there will be no services. In lieu of flowers or donations, those who might wish to mark his passing are requested to read a little of Thomas Wolfe or Mark Twain, or listen to some Bach, Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, or to the music he loved and played, jazz.
