Madelle Rita Vines

Madelle Rita Vines, daughter of Sam and Ida Rosenberg, was born in Portland, Oregon on June 4th, 1925.  Her family moved to the San Francisco bay area when she was four years old with her brother Wally.  She returned to Portland after marrying Morton Vines in a beautiful wedding ceremony at San Francisco’s historic Fairmont Hotel in 1945. Predeceased by her husband Morton and daughter Loren, Madelle is survived by her six children and one grandson:  Gail, (Jim Fuller), Jerald and Ida Vines of Portland, Valerie Vines Magee (Jim Magee) of Nehalem, Harold Vines of Manzanita, Mitchell Vines (Lee Bantle) of Brooklyn, and grandson Dustin Dybvig of Portland.  An avid reader and Scrabble player, she loved to knit and crochet, and enjoyed baking and bowling.  She was passionate about music and language and her children inherited that love.  Madelle was a bright, caring, intellegent, fun loving person.  A long time resident of Northeast Portland, she loved living in Seaside, OR, for almost five years before moving back to Portland last year. She will be buried at the Jewish Cemetery at River View Cemetery in Portland.
