I tried various spelling of her last name and then got smart and just did a first name lookup and then went to the L's for her last name; nothing was listed for her there. Possibly she moved to another state before her death - maybe to live with a child or another relative. Or she may have died in Missouri after 1957 (the online death certs stop at that date). Try contacting the St. Louis City Public Library; their obit lookups are very cheap. http://www.slpl.lib.mo.us/libsrc/obit.htm Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
