This was my mothers older sister.

She had epilepsy and back then it was viewed as a "mental illness" and she was put into a care facility in Medical Lake, WA.

The family told me she was a redhead as well.. that's where I got it from.

Her death certificate lists Pneumonia as cause of death, but it might have been abuse.

Her death was so traumatic for my mother, she never would talk about it and refused to tell us anything about it or her.. she took what ever she knew of it to her grave.
