The citation is the 1965 obituary of John F. Konecny, whose death year matches the claimed 1920–1965 life span. No text from the obituary is supplied, so I cannot see whether it names Gladys Jentsch or gives a marriage date and place. At most it is consistent; the marriage details would need a marriage record or the obituary text itself.
Matches: Source is an obituary of John F. Konecny, matching the husband in the claim; Published in the Manitowoc Herald-Times, a local paper in the claimed county, which fits the Manitowoc setting
Limits: No image and no transcription text supplied, so the obituary's actual wording on the marriage cannot be checked; An obituary is a secondary source for a marriage date and place and may be silent on, or vague about, the exact date; Cannot confirm the wife's name, the 11 March 1944 date, or the Manitowoc location from the evidence given; Citation lacks publisher details and rests on a third-party website transcription
