Santa Cruz or Yolo, CA COMPLETED
« on: Thursday 20 April 17 19:13 BST (UK) »
Would anyone be able to find an obit for Warren L Richey, who died 1 Apr 1978, either in Santa Cruz or Yolo, CA.  He married 2nd, Mary Grace Dunlap Mast, 16 Jul 1957.

Findagrave entry: https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Richey&GSfn=Warren&GSbyrel=all&GSdyrel=all&GSst=6&GScntry=4&GSob=n&GRid=87798213&df=all&

I believe he is the same Warren L Richey who was married first to Sada Marion Roberts and also appears on her tombstone in Youngstown, Ohio.

I would like to link these tombstones but would like an obit to confirm my belief they are one and the same.  Warren and Sada had a daughter, Helen, who survived at his death.

Thank you for contemplating this request.-- Liz
