McAULAY, Margaret Dobbel,

Born in Sonoma, CA, September 9, 1912, she attended schools there and graduated from the University of California in Berkeley. After completing a degree in Librarianship, also at UC Berkeley, she worked in public libraries in Palo Alto and Redwood City until her marriage to William Hatton McAulay. They settled first in San Carlos; the family moved to Woodside in 1956 and finally to Los Altos Hills in 1965.

Long interested in residential design, landscape architecture and home decoration, she obtained her real estate license in 1969 and enjoyed helping many people find their new homes in a successful career as a realtor with Cornish and Carey, Los Altos, until retirement in 1995.

She is survived by her children, Richard of Los Altos Hills and Tamsin of Pacific Grove, and by her daughter-in-law Anita and her grandson Thomas.
