Anyone know when her first hubby, Leon Eric Crossman died? He was alive in
Truro in 1989 when his brother, Lester died.
I believe this Darlene was married to Leon Eric Crossman (s/o John Hugh
Crossman, Port Greville (1894-1972) and Mabel Helena White, River Hebert
(1909-1981) on 16 Apr 1952 in United Church Parsonage, Advocate.
