The highlighted entry in the Herald-Times-Reporter table states the claimed death date (20 May 2018), age (62) and town (Two Rivers). It matches the claim's own note, which cites the 22 May death-notice table. Linking 'Sandy' to Sandra Lee Konecny rests on the transcribed obituary, which is not in the image. The 22 May versus 23 May date in the citation label should be tidied.
Matches: The highlighted row in the 22 May 2018 death-notice table reads: Matchopatow, Sandy, 62, Two Rivers, 20-May, Deja & Martin Funeral Chapels; Death date 20 May matches the claim; the year 2018 comes from the newspaper header (Tue, May 22, 2018); Age 62 matches the claim and a 1955 birth year; Town Two Rivers matches the claimed place; 'Sandy' is a normal short form of Sandra, and the surname is rare
Flags: The source title and citation detail give 23 May 2018, but the image is the 22 May 2018 issue (the research note acknowledges this). The citation label should be corrected or the two items separated.
Limits: The table gives only 'Sandy Matchopatow', not the full name Sandra Lee or the Konecny maiden name. Those come from the transcribed full obituary, which is not shown in the image.; 'Died unexpectedly' and the 1955 birth details are not in the visible table.; The table gives the town only. Manitowoc County and Wisconsin are implied by the newspaper's coverage area, not stated.; The 23 May obituary text is a transcription, not visible in the image.
