Note: On March 15, 2016, in looking for Cecil's parents, I came across a memorial for her with an unknown death and burial. I notified Raymond Feigh, the owner of that unknown memorial at that time, and I did not hear from him. On August 13, 2016, I asked findgrave to merge the memorials for Cecil, and the biography information added in at the end of this memorial is from his memorial that findagrave merged into this one.
