Usually when the obit previews from GenealogyBank that are on FamilySearch have no other  names mentioned , it indicates that it is a death notice and not an actual obit.

It appears Marjorie and her twin sister Marian never married and had no real family. This would explain a lack of an actual obit.

Both adopted.

Thanks, RJ.  Yes, I know that they were adopted and I have suspected that they were probably twins.  I haven't been able to identify their birth parents.  They did have some family in Seattle  - cousins Dora Reid [d. 1999] and Alice Reid [d. 2004] who were also elderly spinster sisters.  And there were other cousins in California and Texas.  I was hoping that an obituary might give some indication of how they had supported themselves between 1940 and 2000.
