I don't know a whole lot. Her name was Dorothy (birth certificate says Dorothea) Catherine, her fathers name was Osborne Kenneth MacDonald who died 1966, and her mother was a McGowen(an). She died when my grandmother was 16 of a stroke or heart attack at the age of 42 we are guessing. My grandmother had an uncle Samuel MacDonald. After the sting of her death passes, I am going to ask the family more questions. If anyone knows anything, please e-mail me. Thanks!
