Her maiden name

 Murphy died 1954

 Pete Belch died 1981

its the info on Murphy Streussnig did they have children.

Don't know her 3rd husbands name

The obit above provided by Sandra states that she is the mother of 5 children, two males being Murphy.  You'd have to check for the surnames of the females to see if they were Murphy or Belch.  She was also the step mother to her last husband's children--surname Tunney.

Chester Murphy dies in 2005.  He was born in Greensburg, PA, the son of William and Christina Attenberger.  Survivors include the same siblings mentioned in the Tunney obit.

Many thanks it has given me a way forward with the family.

The 1940 census mentions 3 children of William Murphy, with wife Sue.  Since we know Chester is the son of Wm's first wife, his older sister is also not the daughter of Susan.  The younger sister is 2 years old, so if you find the death date of Wm's first wife, Christina, or the marriage date of Wm. to Susan, you can possibly determine who her mother might be.  The two other children mentioned in the Tunney obit are probably Susan's children.
