Can anyone explain the item below?
In her obit, there's reference to two sisters but only names one, "Barb" OR
is it Barb McAloney and Sissy Mullens, Evans?.
***loving sisters, Barb "Sissy" (Mullen, Evans) McAloney, both of
Halifax,***
I only have siblings, Linda Gertrude, Vicky Lynn, Daniel and Terry for
Bonnie.
Bonnie would have been age 3 when her father died. Could she have been
placed in Foster Care and these sisters are not blood relatives?
Thanks.
Dave
