Re: Obit: Faulkner, H. Le-Roy

Comparing Le-Roy’s obit with that of his wife, Florence Caroline Durning’s, did Florence have a daughter, Wendy Durning before she married Le-Roy?

Florence lists Wendy as a predeceased daughter; Le-Roy lists Wendy as a predeceased step-daughter.

Just trying to make the correct connections in my genealogy file.
