My mother Drallia was married 1st to Harry LeRoy Connolly maybe in1940, still need to hunt down when and where they married and they had Stephane Ann Aka Stevie born 12/26/1941 in Arkansas.
Stevie accidentally took an overdose of heavy duty pain meds to deal with a kidney infection.
Her husband was navy and out to sea on a ship, her 2 small children were playing in the front yard when she passed away, a neighbor found her. This was I think in Riverside California and her body was brought back to Missouri where her husband lived and her dad Harry also lived.
