Joann McLaughlin, nee Digney, formerly Fry, formerly Culver
« on: Wednesday 28 December 22 00:01 GMT (UK) »
Joann Digney was born Nov 2, 1932  in Ohio to William James Digney and Jennie aka Virginia Margaret Watterson. Joann had 3 marriages, and as near as I can figure, the first was to James E. Fry before 1954, as Joann was a witness to her half-sister Jane Spencer's marriage on Jan 23, 1954 and Joann's surname was Fry. Her surname was Culver when her stepfather John George Spencer died in 1966. I believe her last husband was Myron A. McLaughlin and they divorced Jan 29, 1979 in Los Angeles. Joann died July 26, 1988 in Riverside, California.  I can't find an obit for Joann whose surname I believe was McLaughlin when she died. Can anyone find a death certificate or obit for Joann? I don't think she had any children.
Thanks for any help.

Oh, yes, it is by studying the birth, marriage, death and census records that I have that I have been able to build a picture of Joann’s life. I have searched on ancestry and on familysearch. I did not find any of Joanne‘s marriages, but I have put things together by using what I have.

Would be a good idea to link the other thread.

No death certificates for 1988 online - just a listing on the California Death Index, which I think you probably have.

Joann McLaughlin - Joann Spencer Birth Date 2 Nov 1932 Ohio
Death Date 26 Jul 1988 - Death Place Riverside
Mother's Maiden Name Watterson - Father's Surname Spencer

An informational copy of a California death certificate can be ordered by anyone, if you want to go that route.  https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CHSI/Pages/Authorized-Copy-vs--Informational-Copy.aspx

Thank you shelleyesq. I will have to consider whether I want to spend that much money for the death certificate.
