I've got the answer to my question about her husband's family. Jabe J. Anderson (1925-1980) is son of James Veryl Anderson (1901-1977) and Rosa May Peyton (1904-1996) - all buried at Memorial Gardens, JCI James Veryl Anderson is a son of Jabez Jarvis Anderson and Doretta Florence Maulding (sister of my great grandmother).
