The citation is the obituary of a Marie Brickner dated 17 Jun 1985, which fits the death year of Marie Tauber (1904–1985) and her married surname. No text or image is available, so the 1925 marriage and husband Oscar J. Brickner cannot be verified from this evidence. It is consistent but thin.
Matches: Obituary is for Marie Brickner, matching the wife's married name (Marie Tauber / Brickner); Date of 17 Jun 1985 fits a death in 1985 as given for Marie (1904–1985)
Limits: No image or transcription text is attached, so the obituary content could not be read; Cannot confirm a 1925 marriage date, the spouse's name (Oscar J.), or her maiden name; Obituaries seldom give a marriage date, and when they do it is often only a year; Newspaper obituary is a secondary source for the marriage, written decades after the event; Citation gives only title, date and page, with no extracted text
