Obit for Muriel C Wagner Sacramento
« on: Tuesday 12 May 20 18:12 BST (UK) »
Is anyone able to find an obit for Muriel C Lane Wagner?   Public Records state she was living in Gold River, Sacramento, CA; her SSDI states she was born 25 Oct 1917 in Illinois (Oak Park), and she died 26 Dec 1989, Sacramento County. She was the widow of George C Wagner and the daughter of Harry Leonard Lane and Cecil (Cecelia) Thomas Lane (divorced).  She may have had 2 daughters, probably still living.

Thanking you in advance for taking an interest in this query.--Liz

Couldn't find an obit for Muriel, but did find some bit & pieces that may answer some of what you seek.

It appears George & Muriel each had 2 children from previous marriages. George- a son & daughter and Muriel- 2 daughters.

George in 1940 census with 1st wife Lorraine and daughter Georgia.

George died in 1971. His obit mentions his son and daughter first and then Muriel's two daughters of Sacramento.

George's obit-

There was an In Memoriam in thee paper for Muriel in the spring of 1990. It lists her 2 daughters and her sister.

George's daughter Georgia died in 1991. Her obit just mentions her mother Lorraine & brother in Sacramento.

Thank you RJ.  That certainly fills in some holes.  I had pecked my way through the limited newspapers I can access but didn't find some of your articles.  Thank you so much.
