Born in Hughson, California on February 10, 1925, Mabel G. Machado was 97 years 5 months 15 days and entered peacefully into rest on July 25, 2022. She was a resident of Manteca for over 73 years.
She is preceded in death by her beloved husband Frank R. Machado, parents, Manuel and Serafina Santos, siblings Alice Maciel, Elsie Reis, Manuel Santos, Joseph “Todd” Santos, Eva Ross and Joaquin “Jack” Santos. Mabel is survived by her loving family, seven children, Marlene Machado-Danbom (Andy), Frank A. Machado (Beatrice), Marianne E. Machado (Ellis Calija), Robert A. Machado (Tina), Donald A. Machado (Karan), John A. Machado (Lucy) and David A. Machado (Juline), all of whom she loved dearly. She was also blessed with 11 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren all of
whom she loved and would do anything for.
Mable was extremely influential with the family business Frank R. Machado and Sons Dairy. She was a kind, caring and a giving person. She was also assertive and tough. Mabel was extremely hard working and would step up to milk cows, clean, drive the tractor or doing whatever needed to be done all while raising seven children.
She was a member of many clubs and organizations including St. Anthony’s
Catholic Church and the MRPS Hall where she spent 40 years coordinating
and managing the hall rentals. Mabel was talented at embroidery, crocheting
and enjoyed crossword puzzles, word searches and especially playing cards
or jigsaw puzzles with her family. Above all, Mabel’s heart was always with
her family, she looked forward to individual special times and big family get togethers; her love was unconditional. Mabel will be remembered for her witty sarcastic character and her selfless giving and caring heart. She will be extremely missed by her daughters, along with her entire family including all those that knew and loved her.
