*CENOTAPH. She was the daughter of Edwin C. Fulford and Eleanor Niblock. Her official name was Mary Edith Fulford but went by Edith and that is the name on the grave, so Mary was placed as a middle name on here. It appears she was married three times, as around 1938 her last name became Varella, and in 1957 it became Wenrich. She had a son from presumably the first marriage. She married for a third time in 1962 to Theodore Sookiasian. In later years she lived in Lewes, Delaware and died of kidney failure. Besides her husband Ted, she was survived by a brother Edwin Fulford of Ellsworth, Kansas, and two sisters Mae Wade of Warminster, Pa., and Kittie Burrell of Bossier, La. This marker is a cenotaph which was purchased for their burial but not actually used. There is no similar nameplate on the other side for her husband, who died just two months after after she did. Edith was cremated and her ashes given to her husband, perhaps with the intention of being buried here, however he died less than three months later and her ashes were not found at the time of his death.
