Technically you are both correct. Othella Farabaugh's Tribune-Democrat obit also listed her mother's surname as Queen; which is probably how her family members wrote it. Othella's brother Harold Bender died two weeks later and the obit listed their mother's name as Marie (Yeckley) Bender. My records show Marie Bender was born Sara Quinn, daughter of John Quinn and Margaret Shannon. She was adopted by Charles and Christina (Krug) Yeckley when only a few years old, and was known as Marie.
