Born May 6, 1900, daughter of James B. and Julia Sullivan Atkins. Lived in Portland her entire life. Married first to Floyd Van Keuren, to them were born two sons, Floyd Jr. and James H. Vankeuren. She secondly married Albert James Shaffer, and outlived him.
The Portland RC Diocese database lists DOD 7 July 1959, but per the Portland Press Herald obituary dated 6 July 1959, she died Sunday, 5 July 1959. July 7 is likely the burial date. The obituary also lists Albert as Albert N., however that is incorrect, per their marriage record, and all of his vital records. They had no children and he went back to Ohio nearly 10 years prior to his death (shortly after his mother died), while she stayed in Maine, so perhaps they separated and whoever wrote her obituary did not know his information well.
