Cemetery records state that she was buried on Jun. 13, 1983 and the records DO NOT SHOW her husband, Arthur Ellis Prunty, Jr. as being buried here.
Info from Barbara Krafke 03-29-17, niece to Jean Marie (Karfka) Gregg Prunty:
Jean was my aunt and a sister to my Dad, John Krafka, Jr. She was the last of 13 children born to Anna [Privratsky] & John Krafka, Sr. Jean's maiden name is Krafka. Her first marriage was to Bobby Gregg, a baseball player on a semiprofessional team out of Harlingen, TX. They had a son named Michael. After they were divorced, Jean married Arthur Prunty who subsequently adopted Michael.
I found that there were multiple dates shown in various sources as Aunt Jean's date of death. They are as follows.
02-20-1982 handwritten records from my Aunt Annie Krafka, sister to Jean
(Annie's handwritten records were the foundation for my research of the Krafka family)
02-01-1983 Social Security Death Index
02-05-1983 web site of familysearch.org -- Find A Grave Index records
02-05-1983 web site of findagrave.com in October 2014
02-15-1983 web site of findagrave.com in March 2015 (and last week)
02-19-1983 California Death Index
02-20-1983 Newspaper obituary (I do not know if it is from the local Harlingen newspaper or one in California)
I have changed Aunt Jean's date of death to 02-19-1983 in the Krafka family records due to finding official documentation in the California Death Index during March 2015. (At one point, the Social Security Death Index only showed actual month and year of death, and always used the first day of the month in date of death -- this changed some years after the year Jean passed away.) I decided to make an arbitrary decision to use the date from the California Death Index since she lived in California at the time of her death. (I hate to have to make arbitrary decisions like this, but I have found this is necessary at some point in instances when different info is shown in multiple sources for the exact same thing.) And I have no idea how familysearch.org changes its records, but as of today those records reflect the date of 02-15-1983 for Jean's date of death.
If you are interested, you can find grave records for a lot of Aunt Jean's Krafka relatives in Mont Meta Memorial Park cemetery records on findagrave.com. This cemetery is located in San Benito, TX.
