Margaret "Maggie" Schelen
Margaret "Maggie" Schelen, a longtime activist in and around Yolo County, died in her sleep at her home in Sacramento on Nov. 12, 2003, of renal and congestive heart failure. She was 85.
She was born Margaret Ring in Philadelphia on Aug. 21, 1919. Her family moved to Los Angeles, where she grew up, two months later.
She marriage Robert Edward Schelen in 1941. He was serving in the South Pacific during World War II; she was working the graveyard shift at an airplane factory. After the war, she worked as a dental assistant and her husband became a Pasadena police officer. In 1958 she was widowed with two young children.
She was active in public affairs throughout her life -- an interest she inherited from her father, a founding member of the Ladies Garment Worker's Union.
She worked for Assemblyman Jesse M. Unruh from 1965 to 1970 in Inglewood. After he lost his bid for the governorship, she moved to Sacramento to work for Assemblyman David Pierson.
In 1973 she took a job for what later became the Speaker's Office of Majority Services. She worked there under Assembly Speakers Bob Moretti, Leo McCarthy and Willie Brown until 1984.
She then began coordinating special projects work in the district office of Rep. Vic Fazio -- often working with Yolo County residents -- until the congressman retired in 1999. From 1999 until her death, she worked on special projects for Assemblyman Darrell Steinberg.
She was a member of Citizens for Better Government. In the 1980s she served on the Sacramento County Mental Health Board and played a role in the creation of the Fruitridge Community Center. In the early 1990s, Fazio appointed her delegate to the White House Conference on Aging.
She volunteered often for a variety of humanitarian and civic causes until recently breaking her hip. She worked as a greeter at many events, including political ones, earning the nickname "Maggie at the Door."
She was a recipient of several awards for her activism, among them the Lawrence O'Brien National Democrat of the Year Award, the Harry S. Truman "Give 'Em Hell, Harry" Democrat of the Year Award, the Sacramento County Democratic Central Committee's Democrat of the Year Award, and the 9th Assembly District Woman of the Year.
Her son, Davis activist Bob Schelen, said his mother was a valued mentor to many people in and out of public life. It was a statement to his mother's kind and loving nature that she maintained lifelong friendships with people, he said, no matter what political sides they took.
Frank Rigani, a former co-worker, donated $10, 000 to help create the Maggie Schelen Public Service Scholarship at the King Hall School of Law at UC Davis. The scholarship is awarded annually to a student who exemplifies her public service.
She is survived by her sister, Grace Johnston of Arcadia; daughter, Delilah Schelen of Sacramento; and son, Robert Charles Schelen of Davis.

The family lived in several Central Valley towns and moved to Davis in 1956 following her mother's death. She and Byron divorced in 1966.
Her family says she lived fully to the very last days of her life, when she succumbed to the complications of congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Only hours before she lapsed into a coma, she had made plans to travel to Vacaville to have Thanksgiving dinner with her nephew and her son.
She loved to travel, hated to cook, rode her bicycle until she was 92, collected teddy bears (and other more dubious “treasures”), was a formidable bridge and Scrabble player, and was always looking for a bargain.
She is survived by her son, who now goes by the name of Mikos Scherck Fabersunne of Davis; her daughter-in-law, Gayle Cribb, and two grandchildren, Camila and Mateo Cribb Fabersunne, of Dixon; a niece, Miriam of Costa Rica; and two nephews, Aaron of New Mexico and Richard of Vacaville.
