Limits: The obituary does not say where she died. Two Rivers is the dateline and her residence, not a stated place of death.; The 22 May 2018 death-notice table cited in the death claim's note is a different item and is not shown in this image.; The visible text is cut off at the bottom, so the survivors list in the transcription cannot be checked against the image.; Obituary information comes from family informants, so it is secondary for the birth details.
