names Barrich and Hood, PA.

 I am just really puzzled  , searching  for Gertrude Barrich I believe  she was born around the year 1920. She is deceased but the date is unknown. Her spouse iwas Alton L. Hood (1919-1989). She had two children: Richard Dale Hood Sr. (1937-1993) and Paul E. Hood (1940-Deceased). Also missing both her parents. They are like untraceable for me Alton L Hood was born in Richfield, Juniata, Pennsylvania, United States .

Asking for a friend who has just started doing Genealogy, hopefully she will join this amazing forum soon.

thank you from Eilleen .

Richard's obituary is here - https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/75864650  It mentions Gertrude had another surname and he had half-siblings, so looks like she remarried.

This Gertrude Buck - https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/173845404 - was buried in the same town where Richard was reported to have died, so I thought that was a possible match.
