I was unable to locate her grave in this cemetery or any other. I added her here because the death certificate says this is where she went. Although, I have seen some that were not accurate. (I assume the family changed their plans.) If you know of any discrepancy please let me know. I've done some research and I want my memorials to be correct. ~ Kim Jaynes
