The family was traveling in two cars from Washington DC to their new duty station at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. I'm told Daddy turned around when I started crying and wouldn't stop. Mama and Gerry both died in a head-on collision with another car. Two sisters were injured but recovered. The passengers in the other vehicle survived.
Her father said, when told of her death, "she was born on the road (they didn't make it to the hospital) and she died on the road."
