| The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ August 22, 2001 A14 Madge E. Cline of Billings, Mont. and a former winter resident of Wickenburg, died Aug. 15. She was 80. Madge honored her role as wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Always an elegant lady, she exuded strength in business, balance in family and a caring spirit with friends. Madge was born Oct. 23, 1920, the daughter of Katherine and Derwood Petrie. She graduated from senior high school in 1938. Before her marriage in 1945 to Jack M. Cline, Madge taught school in Reed Point, Mont. Madge and Jack adopted three children, Robbin, Janet, and Debbie. After Jack's death in 1974, she became president of Big Sky Linen, which she successfully increased through her tenacious business acumen. In 1982, Madge married the second love of life, Bill Schumacher. Mutual respect, companionship and traveling to Arizona were threads that prevailed in their marriage until Bill's death in 1992. It is our tribute to Madge to go confidently through life, having been honored with her love and unselfish support. Survivors include her children, Robbin (Shirley), Janet Platt (Chuck), and Debbie Stricklin (Joe); stepsons, Roland Schumacher and Ralph Schumacher; grandchildren Brett and Marcus Cline, Nicole, Kristine and Jonathan Platt, and Brandy K. Seat; and five great-grandchildren. Services have been held in Montana. Memorials may be made to the charity of one's choice. |
